A frIend was GIVEN a near new 2000s Mustang with the overhead cam engine and he left it sitting outdoors for over a year before he got it going only because his rusty V40 Chonda Lawnkeeper by Victa he was using to do people's lawns as well as his own, failed.
It he treats his equipment roughly in general including his car. Shows how little you value something when you haven't had to pay for it and that included ask the cars he had that were bought by his parents.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
