And then you can have plastics that don't do well with UV light, age, heat, etc.

Anybody remember those Cadillacs with the plastic pieces between the rear bumper and the body? They all rotted away.......

I know they use all sorts of artificial aging to see how the plastics will hold up over time, but I have seen plastics that were supposed to last 50 years, and held up less than 10 in Florida heat and sun.

If I had $80K to spend on a car, I'd buy a W126 for each day of the week.
