Absolutely true. But what I would advise Scrivy to do is to "elevate his knowledge" about our cars so that he avoids learning about the little details after his choice is in the garage. Stuff like rear fenders, door lines, windshield angle, could really detract from his enjoyment if he cultivates an appreciation for them after he buys a car. I love to make fun of FFR cars, but the truth is I really like their shape. Scrivy needs to gain an appreciation for the differences and then decide what he wants and what he can afford. But he shouldn't buy anything until he knows what he's looking at.
