While serving in Iraq, I had to leave my car in storage for almost 12 months while deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. When I returned home, I hopped in the parked vehicle with extreme eagerness and excitement at the thought of rejoining my family. As I drove off, my car sputtered, was sluggish and even stalled in the middle of traffic. Needless to say, I was not a happy Soldier as I literally lived the phrase "going nowhere fast." What I later discovered was that my car's poor performance was the result of underuse and immobility for an extended period of time. I had to learn the hard way that if you don't move it, you will eventually lose it.
