At first i was debating parking mine for winter, especially since i have a good awd vehicle. The debate went back and forth in my head while searching for a set of good snow tires cheap (found a new set on cl eventually.)

Then i said, fuck it, this car likely will be the equivalent of a miata and be a dime a dozen by the time the car actually rusts out as long as its washed well (undercarriage wash religiously in salted environments).

Don't kid yourself, its a mass produced econobox, take care of it, but also enjoy the shit out of it and if you're that attached to the platform just buy another in better shape when they depreciate to nothing. Wether you keep it in a bubble or not it will depreciate.

Most cars are not an investment, this car is nothing special, its a mass produced hunk of metal, you can get another. On its current path it will not see anything but significant depreciation, which is awesome. Can't wait till a parts car can be grabbed for little or nothing.
