Should I adopt this old dog with a health problem or buy a new puppy?

Buy the beater especially if you live in a place where there is winter. Driving a moped in snow is the most ridiculous idea ever. Generally a good car is a Toyota Echo (Tercel), Corolla, Camry, Celica, Ford Escort (Focus), Taurus, Honda Civic, Accord, Chevrolet Cavalier, Prizm (Geo Prizm).

These are just some models my friends have had and have and had minimal problems for a year at least.

The car should be safer and more comfortable especially in the winter months. Have any used car inspected by a good mechanic before purchase to make sure there are no pending problems.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
