Like it's your only car, so long distance, bad weather, whatever, it's your only car.
You can answer even if you're not a car person. You can just say a year or decade.
If you are a car person you can give a year/make/model and as many answers as you want. And/or your reasoning like why that year/which modern technologies you would or wouldn't do without for an everyday car.
Or recommend an aged cheese instead if want, idk, OK?
