Are we driving a beater car? Does it place a shadow on MS DD?

Same here, OP!

We live in Bethesda and drive 10 and 15 year old beaten up cheap Japanese cars. At my son’s high school, I parked next to a *student* driving a Tesla. The neighbors on our street have that type of car as well.

Oh well. When my son gets his license, we will buy a “new cheap Japanese car with all the safety features”.

You’re in for some sticker shock.

In Va a new Safety Inspection sticker on the dashboard once a year is required so it's known all is in working order. Don't know if Md has the same. Lots of people in snowy areas own a Snow Queen they call it. A beater car for driving in the winter months - salt on the roads and greater likelihood of mishaps. The nicer car is left in the garage.

A snow queen! I love it. I will just call mine a mud queen and then a pollen queen and drive it all year.

Ha!!! Same here.

I’ve seen the prices, it’s fine.

Many many years ago I used to regularly see a bright blue mid-60s ford falcon in great shape with a Mercedes hood ornament.
