>> the owners somehow manage to keep them running the people that depend on these vehicles are particularly tuned in to how to keep them alive... Years ago, when my wife and I lived in a 'rural adjacent' community we had a ~20 year old manual transmission european sedan sitting in our driveway for about a year, tires slowly deflating, until one couple stopped by to enquire about it. My wife told them that if you can get it running you can have it, the husband came back a few days later to sign the paperwork, and after popping the hood and turning a few knobs was able to get it started and drove it away :) Very happy that the vehicle had an extended life with someone that could put it to use.
