I am an older slightly disabled fellow who still wants to maintain absolutely clean vehicles but do it in a manner that makes it easier on me physically. I just purchased a clean 04 F-150 that was owned by an old man who kept it in good shape. I want to keep it good looking.
I also own a 03 Windstar that needs some exterior maintenance. I never thought I would like a mini-van. I am a truck, SUV, and sports car person. I love small cars that handle well on curvy roads. I like trucks because I used to be an outdoor person. I like SUV's because I had a job that required me to be there regardless of weather. I like the Winny because it was designed for tall disabled people.
I no longer work. I want to keep my stuff in top shape regardless of how much it hurts to do it. I am not a mechanic but I like doing as much maintenance as I can.
To me there is no greater satisfaction than driving an older vehicle that runs and looks like new.
I once owned a 1988 Ford Bronco II that I bought new. I kept it until 2008. In the last five years of my ownership the rust took over like wildfire. BUT.... even when it was 15 years old I enjoyed the admiring looks I got from people when it was washed and waxed. Today's car care products and techniques are superior to that of 20 years ago and I want to learn the new techniques. When I did work I worked so much overtime that vehicle exterior maintenance did not get the attention I wanted to give it. The Bronco II was a daily driver. They put some really nasty stuff on the roads here in MO in the wintertime,
I may be old, I might not be able to do the things I used to but I refuse to give up and sit and watch TV all day.
