It's true, you can get away with a lot if you're not driving the car all that much. Doesn't mean it's the right way to do it, but a lot things won't ever catch up to you on a car that doesn't see much mileage.

The factory was planning for a car that was seeing service as a daily driver, and was going to see a whole lot more miles than most of these cars do now.
