Yeah, I think almost every time he finds something not quite right with the car, so he prefers to stick with his "known good" old vehicle. Those few times he's found something very unblemished and correctly equipped, they are quickly snatched because of high desirability. That being said, he has a good ability to find good deals and hidden gems.
It's true that LSI are more concerned with 'due process', his insistence of sticking to protocol is more in the realm of social behavior. Such as giving people early notice of meetings and wanting to send out detailed minutes of meetings before calling the next one. It's the perfectionism that doesn't let him send an e-mail that isn't very well composed and extremely clear (though the Ti brand of clarity sometimes becomes more muddled in practice for some ethical types).
