Man, I sure hate it when I'm driving along and my car decides to spontaneously corrode!

This car (the second texture) has about the same amount of body rot that my '53 Chrysler had when I was in high school. It was my first car, and the fluid drive clutch was awesome. It was a stick shift, but it operated like an automatic tranny at low speeds. It allowed me to shift gears without disengaging the clutch. Unfortunately, East Coast Winters were quite harsh on car bodies, and so it only lasted through my Junior semester when the drive shaft literally flew out from under the car while I was driving it! Luckily no one was injured by it.

Fun scene!

The best way to save money on a car, besides not having one at all, is to drive a clunker. There are several advantages to having a clunker:

1. You won't lose much to depreciation.
2. You usually can buy the car with cash, so you don't have to pay interest on a loan.
3. Insurance costs are less, because you don't need collision insurance.
4. Your car taxes will be much lower than a new car.
5. You don't have to worry about getting dents.
6. You can be king of the road, since nobody in their right mind is going to try to cut you off.
7. You don't have to wash the car.
8. Some clunkers also have the advantage of being fuel efficient. My car has 299,334 miles on it and gets 35 mpg.
9. The environmental toll of car production per mile is reduced the longer you keep the car on the road. It is estimated that production of a car contributes 10 to 20 percent of its total lifetime CO2 emissions.
10. It's easy to find repair parts.
11. Mechanics are less apt to overcharge you, since they may feel sorry for you or be hesitant to give you a bill that's many times the car's worth.

I agree with you 100 percent. I don't even like the new cars and trucks because they look like plastic toys. I might buy a "newer" car down the road (pun intended) when the cost of all-electric cars becomes more reasonable, and when the batteries become more energy-dense and efficient than they currently are.

This car is something you'd probably see in Facebook Marketplace and it has a description which is roughly something like $5000 OBO I know what I have (I know 5 grand sounded too much but you get the idea)

What did I just watch?
And why do I want to adopt a squirrel now? Idk
How did you make that? How did you put video in description?
