Italians LOVE their cars and there's a car wash at practically every intersection.  I took my little Chevy down today to wash and detail because we've decided to sell it.  My logical and sensible husband, two traits I seem to have missed out on, wants to keep his father's car and sell mine.  The reason being that though Nonno's Fiat is well over 10 years old, it has spent the majority of that time in his garage and has fewer than 20,000 miles.  It is in pristine condition and still has that plastic new car smell.  It's old enough though, that it has no sales value.  It doesn't have any of the new gadgets that my car does nor does it get the terrific mileage that mine gets.  I'll miss my little car but good sense says to sell the one that we can actually get some money for.  Damn that good sense!  xxoo me
