Maybe they just want to have fun driving the new (to them) car before weather gets ugly, which is when you DON'T want to drive a car.
It wouldn't have anything to do with 'breaking in' a car, because a used car is long past 'breaking in' time. It's already broken in.
So there's nothing mechanical involved.
I really think it's just them wanting to enjoy drivng the car before winter weather gets ugly. Go out, have some fun, take a spin!!
Enjoy it before the snow falls!!
They will find out if the car has any problems since a breakdown in bad weather is a lot more of an inconvenience.
To prove a point. Its as simple as that. The "point" they want to prove could be a hundred different things and its a waste of time trying to figure out what it is. For all I know, they'll take the car straight to the junkyard after the "point" has been proven....................
Probably to check if anything is about to fail before the bad weather hits.
Someone just bought a used car and they say they want to put more miles on his car. Why would they want to put more miles on a car? They said they want to put as much miles as they can before winter hits
