The classic car should stay at home when it rains (question of the week)
Old cars were usually not built for a long service life and were not optimized for rust resistance. Many cavities, a lack of rust protection treatments and design compromises mean that moisture settles where it is difficult to combat. If you want to use your old car for a long time without having to repair or restore it, you may not want to use it in wet conditions. Is this true and how do today's classic/young car owners feel about this? This was put up for discussion in a " question of the week " .
Almost two thirds (62 percent) of the 428 respondents stated that they plan their trips in such a way that rain and precipitation can be avoided.
A further 18 percent only take the car out of the garage if it is guaranteed to stay dry.
Only a fifth (18 percent) do not give up using their old car because it is wet.
The result is somewhat surprising, as rain is not exactly rare in our latitudes and the risk of thunderstorms is often high in summer. The fact that four-fifths nevertheless try to avoid the wet shows how carefully classic car owners treat their vehicles.
Here are the results of the survey in graphic form:
We have already suggested a new question of the week. This time we want to know whether 3D printing is already gaining acceptance in the classic car environment, or whether Zwischengas readers have already installed 3D-printed spare parts in their classic cars .
And, of course, you can still check out the results of all previous questions of the week in the dedicated topic channel.
