Good one to NOT know...yet.

Yeah, to some people you use and abuse the car and then move on to the next one.

so what?

Alcantara doesn't hold up well, especially to sweaty hands. The seats look like it was a big boy that owned it. Easy to replace the panels and steering wheel though.

Road King

Yep, he was like 73-74. A lifelong runner, and more importantly he loved his Porsche Turbo for 7 years and wasn't thrilled about giving it up.

If he lived closer (he's in San Diego) I would have taken him for a spin in his car version 2.0. I think he might enjoy the extra power and sound!

And of course thank him for taking such good car of the interior.

Actually, to some of them, they're not abusing the car (in their mind). I have a family member who is a lifelong Vette guy, he's on his 4th, a 2016 C7 Convertible. And while he doesn't drive it hard or abuse it (maintenance is always current), he's pretty hard on the cosmetics. We have different personalities, and he doesn't have my attention to detail gene. Doesn't mean he doesn't like/love his car, but he's not hands on with detailing and doesn't think twice about ingress/egress. He just drives it like a regular car. And when he's ready, he sells it and buys another new one. The buyer gets a well maintained and gently driven car, but it looks a little rough -nothing that can't be addressed. Not the way I roll, but he's not too worried about the next owner if you know what I mean.

I was also thinking OC on the left hip. But more likely just an out of shape owner (like me) using anything handy to get in and out of the car.
