I think....
that's probably accurate;the car OM's wind up in the house when the car is sold. A neighbor ruined my parked Olds and so when the insurance paid me for the car, I kept the OM and some other stuff I bought for the car. It was going to be crushed anyway most likely.
In another hobby, stereo hifi stuff....for the longest time when you bought something, you got a reprint(often poorly done) of the original OM. The seller kept the original like it was custom to do so. That just drove me crazy, here I paid all that money and he kept the original OM. Then HiFi Engine online got to be so big, you could find about any electronic OM or SM for free. And there were services where you could get reprints in color with pull out schematics just like the original etc.
I always sold my vacs and other stuff with the original OM's if I had them. The original OM's belong with the item....not for bilking out a few dollars more making poor copies of them for eBay sales.
