Option — Shōwa Car Tuning & Buyers Guide (2000 Edition)

You can't just sing a lazy song like, 'I'll leave my car's care to someone else.' Modern cars can get away with a little neglect, but that's not true of cars from the Showa era. Gas stations and auto-parts stores now offer all kinds of services, and they'll do even basic maintenance for you. Some people apparently don't even know how to open the hood anymore, but that's a little sad. If you love classic Japanese cars, regular checks are the cheapest way to prevent trouble before it starts. Leaving things to a good professional matters too, but why not handle the basic maintenance yourself and grow to love your Showa-era car even more?
