I still have my original daily driver, now a parts car, with a lot of new/recent rubber (replaced within the last few years) such as all new cooling system hoses, rubber brake lines..etc. Now that you mention it, this stuff is probably in much better shape than the old rubber on my current driver. Good suggestion.
Thanks,
Mark
