  1. If the value of your car changes with the amount of gas in the tank.....you might be a redneck.

  2. It's a Vodka burner, so I'm surprised it's in such good shape.

  3. I still am. Them: profilers. Me: broke-dick geezer in 36 year old Toyota pick up with patina, not speeding, no money, no assets, no warrants, probably a hassle= cop repellent.

    2. "Patina" - good one, mike.

      Whether you're incognito or not depends on your environment.

      Actually, where I live, on Chicago's snooty north shore, a beater sticks out like a sore thumb. The cops in Glencoe will pick you up just to confirm that you have a confirmable reason to be there. Happened to my brother in law.

  4. I came out of a restaurant on evening and a guy in the parking lot was having a fit because someone door dinged his new truck.
    As I walked by I quipped to him Dents add character.
    He just glared.
    I then turned to my friend and said, besides, it's a Ford, damage exceeds the value.
    Thought Mr unhappy was gonna throw something at us.

  6. I've had close, but not that bad. A 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne, straight-six, ugly brown, with matching T-boned passenger doors. Bought that way, cheap. All it did was get me from here to there and back again.

  7. It would be fun to pull the roof back down to an approximation of where it belongs.
