Why dont people keep service records?

[HurricaneHeather]

I don't keep records because my cars aren't nice enough to justify it. I've only ever owned one new car and with 160K on it now it has never needed anything major yet, so we don't have receipts for it. I am driving that thing til it dies so I don't give a crap about resale.

If I ever got anything new and fancy I might consider it. To answer the original question of why I don't? Not a priority.

That is what they all say.......But frankly I've never known anyone who does. At worst, they might give it to a relative as a hand-me-down, or give it to charity, but it was still in running condition......just beat-up and stinky and oxidized maybe.

I've already put more miles on both on my vfr than 100 sport bikes combined that have been sold numerous times.
