Well, that would depend.

If you still qualify as Young (as in Young Community Organizer), then nah. (but see below)

If, however, the friend gave you a suspiciously good deal and subsequently goes to work for you or anyone you have connections with, you're hosed.

If you're not Young, then you need to immediately become Eccentric. That's when driving as funky a car as possible, even if you can afford a better one becomes an asset.

My advice is to become Eccentric at once. There's only room for so many Eccentrics in politics (Ron Paul and Barney Frank are taking up a lot of the Eccentric air at the moment), so I would stake your territory right away. Compile many anecdotes about how driving this car connects you to America, and you should be OK.
