AAAAAAAAAAAGH! STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

You are causing 20 times the amount of wear in your transmission each
time you drive like this. At this rate, you will be looking at a
complete rebuild in about two years.

On the bright side, won't it be nice to drive a car with a new
transmission when everyone else is still dealing with their two year old
transmissions?

Of course, this doesn't EVEN take into account the unnatural strain on
the engine. Buddy, why are you even buying a car in the FIRST PLACE?

I bet you leased it, right? This is why I don't buy lease returns.

And since you leased it, you got screwed during the sale to begin with.
Man, to kill your bank account AND your car all at once. Unbelieveable.
