I wouldn’t buy a repainted car. There’s nothing to argue here.

Replace tires. Lost value in car =0

Instant gratification. Came from a lot of things but I think mostly a combination of privilege(society, just before the housing market crash) and the rise of the internet. The people of today expect everything handed to them, or at the click of a button.

I bought a 2017 Kia Sedona recently that was a ‘used’ rental car and aside from a couple very small and obvious scratches from use. The paint finish looked like it had never been put through an automatic wash. No paint swirls or spider scratches or anything. It’s very possible, plus nowadays most of the rental places…

Theft. Theft is the one that pushes mine. I’ll give most people what’s in my pocket if they ask, but I’ll take a life protecting that same pocket when someone doesn’t.

Even at $500 a tire. You aren’t going to touch the price of repainting that kind of damage to that kind of car, back to what it was before.

I had the second Toyota Xrunner sold to the public. I couldnt keep it away from assholes. For years I parked in the back of the parking lot and I would come back to it with a door ding in it. Blacked out tint, I was in it at least 10 times when someone opened a door into it. Or someone lowered the tailgate and hang…

Makes you feel like:

Get those meaty ones. People always want the ultra low profile tires and not only are they expensive, you get almost no miles out of them and have a great time buying new ones every 6 months and no one wants to tell you about that part of ‘sporty rims’ along with less rim protection.  Your ride is at stake.

That set, at that angle, I agree. But I also don’t like white cars personally. I know the flat spot is there and THAT picture I had to look at twice because it looks like it got backed into by another car in the front wheel.. or something.. bad angle.

Went to Hawaii and a bumper sticker the people favor describes this piece of work perfectly. . .

This is HAWAII. Leave the roof alone. Add some supports and lawn chairs to the roof, still redneck but more useful. Add a full mattress or some padding to the back to sleep in. A traveler will happily pick up this wagon in no time. Prime real estate type views almost anywhere on the island, for sure.... Well maybe not…

While you are probably right in most instances with this thought. These are Islanders you are referring to. Doesn’t take long on Hawaii to realize that being smart isn’t what gets you far on a little island.

Going from beater pickup trucks to a Subaru L wagon AWD was a night and day difference on the learning curve...

My dad told me stories growing up of his buddy who had a Jeep Wrangler and got 2 extra windshield wiper tanks/motors and rigged up his own switch. You would open the glove box and mix the drink in your cup right there with whatnot in one and OJ in the other.

It totally has a scent. It’s not entirely pleasant, and only gets you high if your inhaling very hard and the glue is really, and I mean REALLY, HOT! And you HAVE to have your nose LESS than a quarter inch from the liquid magma... Then, and only then will the chemicals be active enough to get you high... Or atleast…

I feel the same way about newer Chevy’s in parking spaces, pulled in forward. Now GM came up with the bright idea of having the reverse/clear lights light up when the car is unlocked with the button or when you get out. (Don’t know, I wouldn’t buy one) but then you’re driving around looking for a parking spot and find…

He definitely owns at least 1 prius

You must not know me.. I actually teach classes on how to be a jackass, (sarcasm too but not as often) they are free and the condescending part comes with time. When you start realizing your short on time, you realize you just don’t have enough to time in the world to deal with stupid. I personally just don’t have…
