When I scrapped my BMW E34 I easily had a couple thousand in mostly new parts that I couldn’t even give away.

Yeah I get the sense of reality myself that can happen any time. Lucky 0W20 is in just about everything these days +/- 0W8 and 16 in that case it would get the 0W20. somehow i would get a Mazda or another nissan for my filter stash. My buddy’s wife’s Honda also can run em lol
Yesterday morning I picked up an Icon 1/2" digital, flex-head torque wrench (12.5-250) at Harbor Freight's parking lot sale. With the money I "saved", I bought a Quinn 3/8" digital torque wrench (5-100) and still had change left in my pocket. 
I can hardly wait until this weekend when I rotate the tires for the first time (94 lbfft, baby!).

You maintain your vehicle(s) like you plan for them to last forever.
New one for me:
We bought a 2025 Ford Transit 350 Long-High for camper conversion. Saw it last Friday. All insulation, most wiring done, subfloor and floor in., 4 windows complete. They move it around and the shop, and outside the shop. I asked the shop owner (super cool guy, Freedom Vans) in my own special way if such short runs are hard on the oil/engines of his clients. He had never even thought about it!!
So now I'm sweating BB's!! I need to sneak in there and change the oil a couple times between now and November!!
It's NOT funny!

Offer them a complimentary case of Amsoil. Use your vehicle as an example of how to correctly change the oil.
Do these kind of camper conversions have a real bathroom or no room for bathroom?New one for me:

Can you still get coffee in a metal can with the plastic lid (one-ringer, two-ringer, or OMG!)?

Trany fluid will accumulate moisture right out of the air from air entering the trany breather because of ambient air presure changes that happen all the time as the weather changes. The moisture drops out as water and that causes rust to trany parts. Rusted trany parts don't work, then bad things happen. It gets expensive real quick when your far from home.
Tranies need to get hot enough to boil off moisture on a regular basis.
Motor-homes that sit for long times between uses get trany failures because of this ^.
