I'm a fan of the Wear system as it exists, at least in theory. "In theory" because I really cannot remember any game that had enough breakdowns (or play time) for a WV to increase. I'm sure I've never had a player group that cared to keep track of it. (I don't think I've ever had a group that would even track Fuel, for cryin' out loud!)

I've thought about introducing a similar rule in non-T2k games with ships/starships, but that's rarely gotten traction.

As to modifications:
"Time used" on a vehicle is surely included in the existing Wear rule, since breakdowns are only rolled for when a vehicle is driving around? Perhaps the ref could keep the original system, but call for extra potential breakdown rolls for certain kinds of driving (like dragging a heavy trailer, for instance, or particularly bad roads). Or enforce penalties to the roll for such circumstances.
