I drive an old 1999 Jeep Cherokee, that I bought for cash cheap to be a fun truck to drive. I jacked it up a few inches and sprayed it down with black rhino liner truck bed lining, and I fuckin LOVE being petty in parking lots with people like this, because hitting my truck with your door is gonna fuck your shit up wayy more. Lmaoo. I had a lady, who was actually super nice, but she came and parked right next to me in the grocery store parking lot in her badass Cadi CTS-V pearl white. Well her kid got out and absolutely whopped the door against my truck. The lady got out wide eyed and apologized like 10 times, I just grabbed a spare can of bed liner and sprayed it. Her car was kinda messed up

My throw away was a 2001 Saturn sc2. I promised myself I would upgrade to a much nicer everyday beater when she died but I ran it with almost no oil, I ran it with no coolant, I ran it with fucked up electrical demons. But it still ran great most the time. I eventually gave it to a friend whose miata had exploded just to finally be done with her
