Buzzard is depicted as a uniquely defensive individual, likened to a porcupine whose quills are always on alert. His suspicious nature leads him to perceive even innocuous gestures, such as winning a car, as deceitful schemes aimed at exploitative ends. This mistrust drives him to extreme reactions, revealing a deeply ingrained paranoia about being manipulated by others.

Instead of appreciating the good fortune, Buzzard’s instinctive response involves aggression towards anyone he feels has wronged him, showcasing a violent and cynical worldview. He would discard the car, choosing to convert it into substances and tools for his own purposes, which reflects his disconnection from conventional values and reveals a character consistently entrenched in hostility and distrust.
