Trisha writes, "All of us lose abilities as we age - especially the more
couch potato inclined -  active people last longer - as what you don't use -
you lose."

Now, of course this is true for most people, but my question is, "Does this
rule apply to a body with cp?"  There has been talk in the past about NOT
over-using the body.  Like we have a limited number of miles on our
odometers.  Race through the first 25 years or so, then spit and sputter till
you end up on the tow truck.  Where as if you gently broke that engine in,
took it easy - didn't push your pistons, then you might get another
maintenace free 20,000 miles out of your body.

Anyone know the pros and cons of this, "use it or loose it" issue for a cp
chassis?
Denise who like T-Rex is just a "Jeepster." :D
