The best part of driving a shitbox is that I don't have to care too much about it. (lemmy.world)

What they don’t tell you is it’s completely allowed to not care about your slightly nice car also.

I like to have a stress free experience on the road. So I do my best to be accommodating while also being predictable (don’t break traffic rules to be nice you’re gonna get someone killed).

Thing about it is, when you drive the shitbox you think you’re at an advantage, but the shitbox is an outlier. Try buying a car you trust as much with your liability ins…damn.

Meanwhile if you have a car that’s still kinda worth something (or you save money, btw you’re an outlier and good for you, I’m bad at it) and you have insurance, it’s just a pain in the ass not a crisis.

Oh sweet summer child.

Someone smashes up your beemer and you have to fix it or lose all its value. That single accident dings its resale value.

Someone smashes up my shitbox and I pocket the damage estimate.

I drive a ford and I listened to limp bizkit.

If my lil truck gets fucked up, I find another one in similar condition and hope the 10k I’m ahead on it is enough.

Registration is cheaper than my Corolla was.
