A small tool box filled with common tools , some detailing tools and materials and taking care of what ya have is key to keeping your own money for other things. Most vehicle maintenance is POL, Lube and filter replacement every 3000 miles or 3 months which ever comes first. And cleaning and or replacement of parts as they wear either mechanicaly failures or cosmetic dings.
A weekend morning spent doing the little maintenance chores, inspecting , cleaning, washing and waxing the family cruiser goes a long way these days.
And when ya finally do wear the paint and seat covers off the thing it's much cheaper to drop 2 grand on a paint job and new carpet and seat covers than to pay 25-50K for the latest and greatest from Detroit , Japan or Europe.
Just my own way of course......learned from my Dad and Grandfather....Nostalgia for me is thrift and taking care of what ya have..........:o)
Stay Safe !
