			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.
