So Rainy the family offered a new car if you scraped the old ones. Are they worried about your MOPAR obsession??
Also do you ever go to the car shows??
They just think it's more "lady like" to drive a newer car and quit being so barbaric with the old barn finds. Plus my job requires I am dressed up formals, so they think I should be in a newer car for that reason.
They are also worried about reliability because I have done many a road side repairs on the spot even when dressed up because I refused to leave the car on the side of the road.
Usually it's dumb stuff, like a carb flood or filter
Clog or something electrical that a jumper wire can fix.
