Having one of those, from England and not Japan, they are less bad for the environment than one might think. You just don't drive them as much, gas milleage takes care of that. Being classics, you don't drive in winter with salt on the road. And you keep them on the road far longer than they were intended, no new car is a net positive.

Well obviously the less you use a car the less environmental damage it does, but if you're not driving it half the year then it's probably not displacing a new car purchase.

>no new car is a net positive.

But you're saying you're required to own an addition car?

In that case? Yes, because for it is used for I don't have an alternative. And new ones capable of doing the same thing used to be unaffordable.
