Aging car and your tune

Hi,

I am sitting here at a conference listening to this MD present about adjusting medication dosages as we age. As we age our bodies may no longer metabolize drugs efficiently which may result in a toxicity among other issues. So these dosages need to be reduced and adjusted.

It got me thinking about a tuned car and age. If you tune a car its likely more aggresive for more power.

My question ... As our cars age will a tune that is ideal and adjusted for the vehicle today be appropriate years from now?

I know our ECU is designed to calibrate settings based on necessity. The ecu may keep the car running smooth and it does not age like other mechanical components. But, thats not ideal in my eyes.

Perhaps retuning down the road is a good idea or maybe their is no coorelation to the human body. Either way its interesting to think about.
