Resting Your Hand On The Shift Knob
Even though manual gearboxes are becoming less common in new automobiles, some drivers still like them over automated ones. In addition, a large number of antique aficionados drive cars with manual gearboxes.
But placing your hand on the gear knob is not recommended when driving one of these autos. Even while it would feel natural to do so, the components of the gearbox may prematurely wear out.
Letting Your Vehicle Sit Too Long
You must routinely drive your car. The battery will run out and the tires will ultimately get malformed if you leave it sitting for too long. Furthermore, stale fuel can seriously damage the engine.
If you will be away from your car for some time, try to store it indoors. To keep rats out of it, soak some mothballs in peppermint oil, overfill the tires, and then wash them to preserve the paint. To keep the battery charged, utilize a trickle charger as well.
