Dr. Dipstik has a last few words of advice for you to live by: If you want your car to last a very long time, the single most important thing you can do is to drive gently. Be gentle with every control and action you take. High acceleration and deceleration cause the most stress and wear on a vehicle relative to any other factors. You can drive fast, but if you take your time getting to the sound barrier speed you usually drive at, your car will last a lot longer.

And so will you.
