Now I know why the majority of Canadian citizens are struggling to make ends meat and working their asses of, cuz of stupidity like this.

There's gotta be an easier way to own an old car.
I like the older cars better than the newer crap.

Why is this hard to own an old car? it just means you have to keep the engine working at a certain level? if you like your old car you shouldn't have a problem with this...your still saving tons of money owning an old car...

First testwas after driving 10 mins and leaving it idleing in drive thru line. Second test was driving for 10 mins and then having it sit for 20mins before test.
