Rande,

My experience is that any car that is infrequently driven will develop ailments
over time due to deteriorating fuel, belts, corrosion, etc.; the result of
which, will make that car seem unreliable.

A "maintained" car driven every day, or frequently, will seem not to have much
trouble because any failures will seem rare due to the frequency of use.

My "FLBC / BFM" is very reliable in that context.
