I recall that there was a tradition amongst the Japanese samurai that they never sheathed their sword until it had tasted blood.
The underlying principle is that one should never just start a car without giving it some work to do. It gives me an excuse to take the Seven out every time I start it for whatever reason, even if it is just to the town and back.
Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
