I bought a shitbox Chevy Impala two years back as a cheap commuter. I’ve been avoiding putting any money into it, because this thing is beat.

Well I finally caved and put four new tires on it yesterday, and all I can say is wow! The car drives a million times better.

      I definitely keep up on repairs for my wife’s truck, but it’s hard to put money into mine when I keep expecting it to die at any time. It just refuses to give up.

        Wheels are pretty easy to pull off if the car goes caput, but yeah I hear ya. Hard to prioritize the shitbox when everything else exists.

      I’ve heard a different variation where pavement is replaced with ground in general. That version applies to shoes, beds and basically anything between you and the earth.
