Reply to comment by Bayoumi in I rebuilt the front end of my aunt's car (as a surprise gift) by toodleroo

In OP’s case, it belongs to his 70 year old aunt, who is likely retired on a fixed income and can’t afford a $40k new car. In the US, there are very few places were you can easily get along without a car, so if you have a low income, you drive what you can afford. My mom drives a 2005 Toyota that she’ll probably drive for the next 10-15 years.

I know about all of that. But some cars I hear, see and read about are just a gun waiting to go off.
