Cost of 320 oil changes equals cost of one engine rebuild (640 if DIY oil changes); if using dino oil change every 3000 miles/4months.

Pause in neutral while shifting between gears.

While down shifting, be damn sure you're in the right gear; practice ahead of time the correct reaction if you're not - clutch pedal back down.

Don't push the trip odometer reset button while the car is moving.

Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.

Carry a spare fan/alternator belt and changing tools, practice changing a fan/alternator belt before you need to.

Always six shims in the fan/alternator pulley assembly.

Never install a fuse of higher rating in place of one that "blew" .

Correct air pressure front and rear and 94 ft-lbs of torque on those lug nuts.

cheers, Jim
