How true!

I had a "cluncker" running for a 4-5 years with minimal maintenance, while out "main car" got all it's regular services (and then some...). The little Italian pulled a long nose to the noble Swede when it turned out to do basically the same job for a lot less effort. In the end it succumbed to the rust devil so I sold it. But a handy guy welded it up and it's still running...
