I was thinking Uncle Buck, very similar vibes.

One may think that is a gutsy move, but I also remember our F trucks started when it was -20F back home when I was growing up in the early 80s (these were 70's or 60's trucks). Power steering wasn't happy, but never got stranded.
But a call out to all the posters here who have lost power- this is a whole lot worse than other power outages, being so very, very cold. So be careful out there.
The first free car I turned down was a late 70s Cougar. I couldn't imagine myself driving it as a 17 year old. Weirdly, I can absolutely imagine myself driving it as a 52 year old . . .
I don't think the aesthetics have improved, and I've had eye surgery so it's not that my eyeseight is worse. But nostalgia is a powerful drug.

Reminds me of when I was in my 20s and I often drove my Samurai to work through deep floods, and used its offroad capability to take shortcuts around apocalyptic traffic jams. It's that kind of frugality, self-reliance, and work ethic that made me the bootstrap-lovin' runaway success story I am to- OH WAIT
