unless there is damage to the motor, low oil, or extremely poor maintenance then WOT doesn't hurt a thing...He didn't say he held it at WOT which could ultimately cause problems...I WOT my truck which has 303,000 on the motor and it doesn't hurt anything, in fact I tend to have more issues develop if I try to baby it then if I just run it...I can't speak for his area, but I have driven in plenty of places where if you are scared of WOT then you will never get anywhere...the fact is though all cars are mechanical and no matter how well you take care of mechanical objects, or how much you baby them, they all wear out at some point...I could see where you could see a problem with doing WOT after it had happened, however everything seemed fine, and sometimes the best way to diagnose a problem is to try and recreate circumstances
