    Same, which is why all* my cars are 15+ years old and I have no real plans to replace any of them, except possibly with different similarly-old ones.

    * I own too many cars.

      I have one car, it's 20 years old and I've had it since 2009. Sometimes I look around and think, maybe it's time to get one not covered in scratches with a dent in the back? But then I see posts like this and feel incredibly grateful this little banger has kept me on the road for so long.

        You could always have your scratches and dent repaired, or learn to do it yourself as a fun hobby. (I'm not joking, by the way: I've done some body repair and painting on some of my cars, and it's kinda fun!)

          Yeah you're right I could probably do this! But I'm not sure I care enough about its appearance 😆
