I'm in La Palma in the Canary Islands and was in Gran canaria last week.

I don't think I've seen one car with a straight panel. They definitely aren't precious about their motors here, new or old.

I assume the grubby parts receive a similar lack of TLC...

Refreshing! We're far too precious about cars in this country.

It applies to many parts of the world, where cars are simply a means of transport and not a status symbol to get anal over.

No reason to look after them in the Canaries as the used prices are so high due to lack of supply. Anything sells. I saw 20 year old Corollas at 3,000 euros.
