my second car was a 78 camaro that I put a ton of time and energy into. I was getting too many tickets and the courts cases were escalating so I had to give it all up.
The guy who bought the car head onned someone a week later. Fortunately everyone lived but the car was lost.
I've stuck to my little Ford truck ever since then. I also have a bad ass Nissan that's in my garage but I'm scared to let it out nowadays. So many years of driving a pickup or company vans make you feel like you're sitting in a go-kart and I don't want to go back there.
plus working downtown, nobody would even think about stealing a 22 year old rusty truck. I don't even lock it. I work closer now but that little boogger is going on 300 thousand miles.
