The way I see it... If it runs and drives and wont leave you stranded, then atleast its better than walking. Ive driven and own complete POSs and drove them with pride (like I was driving a bentley) and I could care less what people thought of me, I wasnt walking.. Growing up, we didnt have a car... and we walked and took the bus miles to get to wherever we needed to go... We drove a Buick Somerset with a MASSIVE hole in the hood, no radio, rusty floors, multicolored, roof, dents and missing a passeger window ( a cat crawled into the engine and died from what I remember) and it was sooo much better than walking. We had heat, each others conversations... ill never forget that car. YOUR car is YOUR car, not your neighbors, your friends, strangers, ect... as long as its my opening statement... the drive it and Damn what others say...
