Whatever the income level, always a car with “personality” (this is not always a good thing!).
In the past, a (well used when I bought it) Porsche 911S, had no heater or defogger, and I lived in Nebraska then.
Had a VW beetle (1st iteration), followed by a Corvair, also with no heater, and it leaked fumes into the passenger compartment, so it had to be driven with the windows partly open! [yes, still in Midwestern winters] This was followed by a 1953 Studebaker pickup. I loved that thing!
Then there was a Jeep C-J, a baby Bronco, and a Suburban, when I lived in the mountains.
The Suburban still survives, and I now have a Mercedes SLK. Bought it new, it still looks like new, although it is 9 years old. Sure love not having a payment book. Sure love to drive fast!
Hybrids, minivans, & Volvos are the bane of the roads! Always self-righteously driving 51 mph in the fast lane, smugly sipping $8. a cup coffee while enraptured by NPR. Fie!
