That’s a very real risk. You’re probably going to be upside down during the entire loan, so totaling your car at any time will mean you are going to have to stump up cash to pay it off.

Anyone really interested in this topic could do this experiment: go to a shop and get nitrogen fill on the right tires. Fill with air on the left side. Drive around and check pressures. Any difference? I didn’t think so.

“a car someone might have kept alive goes to the crusher”

I never liked the gaping maw that Audi introduced in the mid-00's. It looks like a feeding whale shark.

And it uses 2x the gas generating that horsepower.
