Every single additional mile is another opportunity for some idiot driver to over-rev the engine by putting it into 2nd gear while already at redline in 3rd.
While not necessarily evident immediately afterwards(in many cases it is instant engine death), you can bet damage was done that will probably effect the lifespan of the engine.
