So, I've seen the occasional threads on BITOG regarding people who have kept their cars going for many, many years, and a few for 500,000 or perhaps even a million miles. But I've been thinking recently:
What if I imagined that I would never be able to purchase another car again? How would this affect how I maintain my vehicle?
I'd love to hear what people say about this? If you knew that you would need to drive your current car for for another, say, 40 years, or perhaps more, would it change the type of oil you use? Filter? How about other things? For example, would you start using Rain-X windsheild wiper fluid so that you can minimize wear and tear on your wiper arms or motor? Would you do more UOA? Would you start waxing your car (or wax it more often)? Would you take some kind of steps to preserve your interior fabric?
Thanks for your input,
Bryan
