If your car detects anything major, it'll go into limp mode to protect the engine but could also leave you stranded though.

If you think that's bad, Lamborghinis are much worse.

True, well for older ones... newer models are much more robust. Also they usually aren't daily use. This car is ment to be.

You say, This car is more sensitive than a teenage girl.

Its more like dating a woman that is a 10 (e.g. she's high maintenance and then proactive maintenance to avoid the high maintenance).

The only proactive maintenance that will work for that instance is either alcohol or hit it and quit it.
