Drive safely, buckle up!!!!!!

That's right Bruce, there is no cheating the man. You can't take it with you so you so I say have fun with it while you still can.

Just think of it as the more the parts move, the more the engine's going to wear, so yes, of course higher revs lead to shorter engine life. I don't know if I'd call it "premature" engine death though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the engine would require MORE maintenance and breaks down easier if the engine is rarely driven and drives in low RPMs all the time. That high rev actually keeps the parts "strong". :dance:
