It was always garaged, driven a *long* way each time it was started, and the
service interval was reduced to 1500 miles (or 3 tankfulls of #2 heating oil,
whichever came first). I also pressure washed it twice a week during the
winter to knock the salt off the undercarriage (twice a month in the summer).
I wish I still had that car...
