Mmmm... All sorts of wonderful volatile organic compounds offgassing
from all of the plastics, foams, and other materials. Guaranteed to
eventually give you cancer, kill brain cells, and induce migrans.
Fun stuff! :D

I thought you said that you didn't know anyone who drove or could possibly
afford a new car?

My dad is the only person in my family to have ever managed it.

I would have thought there are a lot of families where the "dad" is the only
one to manage it.

Well let me put it this way: During the course of my entire life,
everybody I have known has owned cars which are at least 20 years old.
When my dad bought a brand new car, it was the first time I'd never been
in a car that was new.
(My mum's car is ancient, and mine's not especially new.)
