I drive a car that has seen better days and everytime I replace a windshield or need new brakes I multiply the ballpark monthly payment of a new car by 12 and remember that driving a good vehicle that isn't pretty and has good insurance rates is a better deal.

Plus it's kind of nice to be able to fuck around, drive off-road, etc and not really care what the outcome is.

Yeah, 1000%. I make a medium level effort to not fuck it up unnecessarily.

But I have a lot of genuine responsibilities in my life, where the stakes of fucking up are way higher than brush strokes on a well maintained but street parked 10 year old car.

On days where I can barely maintain any of it, I know where to focus my priorities. And it’s not the paint job of a tool I’d ditch in a heartbeat if I could get away with it.
