I agree with many here. All cars, no matter their original cost, need some routine car. Zombie hunter should just buy a Fiat 500 and let it go. every yer or so he can get a new one.


Most of us here will care for our Crossies from a level of good practice to fanatic. And various degrees in between.


Me, I plan to drive mine 'till the wheels fall off. And I will spend a bit of effort, routinely, to do my best at keeping them on. If I can drive a'75 Oldsmobile Starfire 200K over 20 years, I can likely keep this little Benz together for a while yet.
