If you often drive at faster than light speeds, you&#8217;d do well to have it serviced by a certified quantum mechanic.  That way you can rest assured that if you hit a pothole at Mach 4 million, the suspension won&#8217;t disintegrate into fundamental particles. Sure, they charge a bit more than your standard grease monkey, but they stand behind their work.  I recall hearing about one case where a graduate student took a research vehicle on a joyride and forgot to check the oil first.  He&#8217;s now stuck in the stone age. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"q2\" src=\"http:\/\/drscience.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/q2.gif\" alt=\"QuestionImage\" width=\"25\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>I&#8217;m thinking of having my car serviced.
