Show oo Your second largest, personal investment is probably in your automobile. You should protect that valuable asset with proper maintenance. Most people systematically maintain their cars mechanically to keep them running safely and dependable. But they commonly neglect the aesthetic beauty of their vehicles by procrastinating repairs until rust turns minor, inexpensive dents into major, expensive damage. Such neglect can quickly reduce the value of your car as an asset. Drivers who wouldnt dream of going out publicly in torn, stained clothing, can often be seen driving damaged automobiles. But a persons automobile reflects their tastes and habits in the same way as their clothing. In these days when tight budgets make it difficult to afford a set of badly needed new tires, it is even more difficult to manage to invest in bbdy repairs. On the other hand, with the costs of new cars getting further out of reach each year, it has become practical to respect and rejuvenate our old cars, rather than trade them in on new ones. It is a wise manager who invests a little to protect a major asset. As you inventory your home for spring repairs, take a few minutes to examine your car, too. Its worth it. )cs o e e ' -- |
