Default Re: This novice learns an important lesson

Most of these cars are kept by us as big boys toys, we take a lot of pride in them, the first couple I would let Mama nature take her course and if something broke I d fix it, usually it came as a complete surprise in the pouring rain, then as the years went by I came to a general compromise actually due to my involvement with cycles. Own One, Own it well, Polish it lovingly, give it loving periodic maintenance, go through it annually and make sure it has no reason or way to kill you. If we love building them we should relish servicing them, make a comprehensive service manual for your vehicle specific and follow it religiously, help others to do the same, it will pay off in the beginning and the end.
