Yeah, and the body is great too, considering the amount of salt we
put on the roads in winter.

I can remember when I brought my car over from Germany how one of the mechanics was taken aback when he saw the underside of my car - not much salt used in Ireland on the road.

I like my car and hope to drive it a couple of years longer, mileage is just getting high. conversing

You can put many mies on them. If the roads are bad, they shake the
hell out of the front end causing repair on Ball joints etc. Expensive.

popcorn So why do the make and model of cars we drive have social status?

Some of the top costing cars, are so specialty type that the person can only drive it in good weather, worries about theft and requires extra and costly efforts to house the thing when not driving it?

I like the independence a car gives me and I couldn't imagine being without one - I need one for my job, too, and to simply have a life and get out and about. conversing

Bikes or public transport are great in cities (Munich or Berlin have a brilliant tram system and you simply don't need a car), but that's not on option everywhere.
