That’s a smart move, honestly. I used to gamble with vent boots too, thinking a little crack wasn’t a big deal—until I had to deal with a slow leak th...

You’re spot on about the difference parking makes. I’ve had a couple of cars over the years—one lived in a garage, the other sat out in the driveway u...
