answer:Plow trucks cost considerably more to operate than a cruiser. Just because it has wheels and an engine, that doesn’t mean that they’re anything like your car. Well, unless you own something that gets well under 10 MPG and requires filling the back up with sand every couple of hours. They also cost considerably more to purchase. Sure, the fleet-model cars you see used as cruisers cost a bit more than a regular showroom car of the same make/model, but they still cost a bit less than a snowplow…. and considerably less than the truck that that snowplow is attached to. As for privatization lowering quality, well, that can’t be true… unless Conservatives have been lying to us all these decades.
