How many times in your life (or how frequently) do you hit the rev limiter?

I actually think I've only done this a few times in my life. The last time was on a hairly and badly timed overtake, then suddenly just when I needed it the most the engine splutters on the limiter!

Once bitten twice shy! Plus the fact is it's not too good for your engine to be in the red all the time.
