If House is a world class doctor, why does he drive a 16 year old car? |

Well, it could just be a winter beater, although his lifestyle on the show seems a bit on the frugal side (apart from splurging on that motorcycle). |

i think the reason would be because a snowy road isn't the best condition for a handicaped person who drives a sports bike. He might have thought it was safer to use a car. But i didn't know that a Dynasty was such a kind of car, why is it? ![]() |

It's a high-end Dynasty as noted by the cornering light. Budget luxury and FWD. All you'd need for snow. ![]() -- Last edit: 2007-05-20 07:40:41 |

Wilson said in "Human Error - 3.24" that House drives "a ten year old car". Is it really '88 model or could it be one of the last years? |

Odd, since the last Dynasty was made in 1993. |

The car fits House perfectly. If he was a car, this is what he'd be. |

This car is one of the symbols of House being unwilling to change, unable to accept changes in his life. He want everything to stay as it is, as Wilson points out to him in S3E24. He's been driving this Dynasty for 20 years and isn't attracted to the feeling of having to accept a new car, another change in his daily life. By the way, luxury Dynasties are fine cars ;-) -- Last edit: 2009-08-29 11:06:26 |

Agreed. I like those old Dynasties and the equvalent Chryslers. |

I remember seeing an episode where he made some new kids wash his car, but they took his keys and drove it to the car wash instead. I thought it looked like a Spirit or an Acclaim at the time (I guess I was wrong). I agree with Rubix, this car symbolizes House perfectly. The Dynasty is an example of Chrysler being stubborn and not wanting to change to the modern aerodynamic styling, just like how House is stubborn and doesn't want to change his "unique" ways. |

In tonight's episode (season 7 finale), House does a 180 with this car and then crashes it into the front room of Cuddy's house. |

I'm curious, I noticed that when I searched for this, people are saying that he owns a 1988 model. Was this confirmed anywhere? The reason why I ask is that I own a 1992 model and it doesn't look much different than mine. I owned it for 2 years before I gave it to my son. He loves House and thinks that owning a car like his is pretty cool. I thought House ramming his car into Cuddy's house was awesome! The Dynasty is built like a Sherman tank. You just can't kill it. |

Used more than usual in ep 7.18![]() ![]() |

Does this car survive the house crashing? |
◊ 2018-06-17 15:08 |
It is definitely either an '88 or '89, since it has no airbag. They were added for the 1990 model year. |
