n00b Question....

OK I have a feeling this is an obvious answer, but I'll ask to make sure. I guess it's my teenage driving spirit, but I like to drive fast. I usually drive between 75-80 on the freeways, sometimes up to 90 late at night, and I also usually drive in sport mode (shifting at higher rpms more wear on the engine?). Now my dilemma here is that I want to make my car last as long as I can, but also don't like driving slow. What I'm wondering is, am I killing the life of my car by pushing it so much? Not only that but I do a lot of driving, in the two months I've had the car I've put just over 2k miles on it,(its just over 76,000 now) even without driving it much the first month. Sometimes I drive almost 100 miles in a day, almost all freeway, which I know is better, although I'm not sure about it for my case with my driving. I don't however drive to "crazy" though, I usually don't push my car to accelerate, and let it slowly get up to speed. I don't weave in and out of traffic trying to accelerate past everyone. But if I'm killing the life of my car, I'll drive 65 any day and try to put my speed urges behind me.
Any input appreciated. Please don't kick me off the board for being a n00b lol.
