Damn... That's about all I have to say...
Aside from the fact that I think you need to learn the difference between driving a car hard (and thereby being able to still take care of it) and abusing the f@#$ out of it. My turbo CRX puts out double the horsepower of a stock DX, and I still have the factory original axles with 176k miles on them. Yes, I drive my car hard, and it even saw a full season of AutoCross at one point during its life. Try not dropping the clutch and doing burnouts with the wheels turned at a full lock. That's the fastest way to tear up CV joints. Aside from that, I have no idea how a DX could tear up axles that badly -- they just don't have the power to do it.
