Aggressive or reckless driving, give them a mint condition 1980s death trap 2 door hatchback like a Chevy Sprint, Yugo, or Ford Festiva. If modern, a Smart car. Can't feel macho or invincible driving a Smart car. Make sure the stereo system is removed or disabled from these vehicles.

If they're gonna give me a mint condition classic VW Beetle, I'll speed just to get it.

you would be freezing cold and soaking wet and feel like you just took a 1880's wagon across the Oregon trial by the time you get home from the rush hour commute but then again that is a jeep thing that makes a jeep a jeep

Also why in winter people always preferred the XJ Cherokee it had a longer wheelbase (better smoother ride) and was a 2 or 4-door SUV that had a larger stronger factory heater and factory rear window defrosters solid full insulated doors and solid metal insulated Roof


Sounds like fun!

You gotta take your lumps no matter how humiliating that might be.
