This is a picture of the roof of my car, covered in dust and cobwebs, just before we went through the car wash.
It had been sitting, undisturbed, for over 2 years in this warehouse.
After charging the 5-year old battery (old by battery standards), my 1997 Acura, with over 230,000 miles and all its original parts, started and ran like a top on 2 year old vintage gas and oil, for the remaining 2 weeks of our visit to the States. We did have to buy a couple more tanks of new gas.
Jim's 1996 Toyota 4-Runner, with similar mileage and original parts, has a similar story.
We have, from time to time, considered selling both our old cars since we have to maintain registration and insurance on them, but after this . . . I'm convinced our cars may be like wine.
