My car has 196,000 miles and still going strong. It's a machine, not a human.
I think he is thinking of it like the concept with high performance cars. Such as a Nascar engine. They swap out every few races because almost max RPMs for so long. I understand the point of a car out of its comfortzone can be bad, but running a car low (600 rpm? Lol) can not be nearly as bad as pushing a car hard.
