I don’t know why old people drive so many Buicks, but I also have observed that most old people drive cars that are 10 to 20 years old, including many ‘boats’ of the ’70s and ’80s. I believe the reason for this is that after they retire, most working people don’t have the bucks to buy a later model. Also, why bother? A lot of older people drive only back and forth to the store, stay off the freeways and don’t drive at night, so all they care about is transportation. If Buicks are popular, perhaps it’s because they were particularly well made. I happen to drive a ’90 Ford Tempo, which now has 152,000 miles. I’ve thought about trading it in on a newer model, but I’m not sure I want to take on a car payment again, and I no longer drive as much.
