My imbecile neighbor owned a brand new buick park ave. Garage kept, he wouldn't take it out on the road if it rained or snowed. He waxed it at least once a week, you would think it was a benz, it shined. He passed away and his family sold it for peanuts. Falsely thinking the less you drive the car, the longer it'll last. Cars are made to be driven! Not parked for an extended period. Keep putting out informative and classy content.
