Only if it's an older British car will reliability become an issue! (I'm half-serious btw).
Otherwise, routine maintenance will go a long way to ensure YEARS of trouble-free autocrossing fun.

As you get smoother, you will learn to conserve tires and brakes. Now when you do track days, that's when you will start seeing some real workout

Right and right on all accounts Jay... Many people will tell you that your commute to work (especially sitting in stop-and-go traffic) is more stressful on the car than an entire autocross, which will account for maybe 5 minutes of actual run time.
