However if you buy such an old worn out car...Mechanics will be able to buy new boats and trinkets on your wallet.

It runs magnificently and is in near mint condition. It's still fucking retarded and hopelessly impractical. Which is why I plan on getting a Mark VIII instead.

How much? I've always had great service from Buicks.

No! A wrong wheel drive monstrosity from GM's darkest days.

I wanted it because I thought it would be, essentially, a rebadged Olds Cutlass. I am still going to get a Mark VIII. There will be plenty in the winter because people hate RWD apparently.

Oh, and the dude had a fantastic sales pitch, where he turned on the car and it started instantly. Apparently the 5L engine only makes the same HP as my PT Cruiser that I am trying desperately to get rid of so it would be quite silly as I will be miserable after the honeymoon period.

Because it's "hard to drive" in the snow/rain. Yes, it will fishtail if you floor it while driving in the rain but if you say, shift into 2nd gear when starting out in wet/snowy weather and not drive like a dumbass, you'll do fine.

It is so hard to have to put on Nokian-brand all-weather tires or studded snow tires for the winter season.

You mean tires designed for dry, summer roads may not be optimal for snow? Oh no that's too much for me to manage, I need AWD in case it snows!

@previous (Meta !PARAdoxiHw)
What do you mean I have to have a separate set of tires that are better optimized for cold weather? Fuck that, I'll just buy some used all-season tires with a few millimeters of tread.

You thought about it!

That's makes you slightly lunatic.
