Default Kinda worried......Practicing Launching and

I think that I'm getting it down. I did launch kinda wrong on two tries though. Think that I burned the clutch instead of bogging and could smell it. It's been a couple of days since this happend and I still kindof smell the clutch under normal driving.

Is this normal?

Will it go away soon because the smell is still kind of faint.

My car has about 55K miles...Do you think it needs to be replaced?

I also drive my car throughout the day because I'm in outside sales...How hard is it on my starter if I keep starting/turning off my car?

Also, because I drive it all day, will that greatly cut the life of my clutch as well?

Trying to find a used car to kinda park mine a while and slow down the mileage rack-up/wear and tear.

Thanks in advance.
