Sure, and they were rotted to pieces within 55k miles. :D
I disagree with this suggestion and I bet the OP would too based on how worried they are about their cars.
My car has nothing to prove. It served its duty as a daily driver on and off for 23 years before I got it and for several years after I bought it as a teenager in the 1990s. These days, it’s my most important physical possession and damn near a beloved family pet. It’s absolutely not just a transportation appliance.
