Good luck finding parts for a car that old Lynn. The company more than likely stopped making replacement parts over 30 years ago and the new replacement parts would have to be made on a CNC machine translating to much more money worth spending. In short, get a newer vehicle.
You would be surprised at how easy older car parts are to come across. If it’s a common model it is literally as easy as click and buy. Rare cars are a little harder
I mean, a few sandbags in the trunk and it’s fine. Carry tire chains. Hell, if you’re driving distances measured in hours in places with weather like that, you should be doing that anyway. I’m sort of surprises my Lynn doesn’t already, considering it’s her.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

You assume she’s going to use new parts.
Also, the Grand Marquis shares a lot of parts with the Ford Crown Victoria — which was the basis for many an 80s cop car.

(The popularity of the platform for cop cars and taxis means there are a ton of after market parts still being made for the car too)

whats left of it is worth more to sell as a part car for someone else as dumb as Lynn
Trae Dorn
I mean, Lynn works a well paying job. She doesn’t maintain a 32 year old car in immaculate condition because it’s *practical*

Never related to one of the characters more then Lynn right now

The car is great for safety, just as long as you live in an area with minimal snow and terrible drivers. So, you know, not Indiana.
Trae Dorn
I mean, Megan is from Indiana — but the comic takes place in Wisconsin.
Lynn has never lived anywhere but Wisconsin.

Tire chains weren’t legal when I lived in Wisconsin.
