Where I live, there are 3 men and 1 female, which happens to be me. I have the only working vehicle right now, because they are so hard on the vehicles they drive, that eventually the automobile throws in the towel and puts itself on retirement. The argument that we always have is as follows: I say, “This is the only car that I have, and I am being nice by letting you all use it when needed, however the car is not going to make another year if you keep treating it that way. You don’t keep gas in it which will cause you to mess up the fuel filter among other things. You have to remember this is not a truck; it is a Ford Mustang, there-fore you cannot jump over speed bumps as if you are in the monster truck show or you will kill the shocks among other things. You must keep the oil changed and a regular tune-up if you want the vehicle to continue servicing us.

Claim: The car is not going to make another year if you keep treating it that way.

(Reason 3)You must keep the oil changed and a regular tune-up if you want the vehicle to continue to operate.
