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.
