The reason it takes a lot of effort to get a car on the road after it has been sitting and rotting or just driven 50 miles a year is because owners haven't any idea how time is working against chemical and mechanical compounds.

Brake fluid attracts water
Coolant degrades
Piston rings don't work to scrape cylinder walls and those walls go dry
Brake caliper pistons go dry
Air conditioning components degrade
And then there are rodents that know a vehicle hasn't moved

Drive your car. You don't get enjoyment from looking at it.
