The days one's merit was based on what they drove exists
only in the ghettos. Best Washington, DC traffic car I owned
was a 15 year old AMC Hornet(1974 model). Painted a sort of orange.
People
were careful to stay as it was obvious that the driver simply
didn't give a shit.

So what's your point? You have to drive something usually. Pick
whatever works for you. I used to buy new. In recent years I've gotten
steals on used vehicles. Car companies are aware of your cunning plan.
They have tended to raise the price of repair parts in an effort to
encourage people to dump old iron. Eventually, the Chinese will
dictate price.

So what's *your* point? You could drive lots of things. You could
drive a golfball. You could drive cattle on the Chisholm trail. You
could drive your mother freakin' crazy for that matter.
