In the dialogue from Kelley Armstrong's "Omens," one character expresses concern that cars should not be stored for long periods, as this leads to various mechanical problems like issues with brakes, tires, and engines. Their statement suggests a belief in the importance of regular maintenance and use of vehicles to keep them in good condition.

Another character responds with a smile, hinting that the first individual lacks knowledge about cars and vehicle upkeep. This exchange highlights contrasting perspectives, where one character emphasizes care and practicality while the other seems unaware of the complexities involved in vehicle maintenance.
