Then he or she winds up hiking a quarter mile or so to reach the shopping center. A new car also demands constant attention. The owner feels he or she must immediately wipe off any bird droppings, mud splashes, or water stains from the exterior, chores that those with 'junkers' never bother about. A new car, in addition, forces its owner to avoid all indoor parking garages or restaurants with valet parking. The sight of a car attendant gunning that brand-new car up a ramp or squeezing it into a tiny space could cause heart failure.
