The problem for us country fuckers is that cars take a beating. Then you run into a lack of parts to keep a good car that's just old going in good trim. My car is a 2007, and I'm already running into trouble with some parts. Well, that and the fact that I let my dad drive it, and he seems to attract idiot drivers that want to hit him, so even new parts won't always fit, which is double frustrating.

And it isn't like we have reliable public transport as an alternative. We do have a bus line, if you don't mind taking two hours just to get to a grocery store, standing around in southern humidity and heat, and then walking a quarter mile from the stop to the store. Which, if you're also disabled, good luck on that last part along a crappy road with a nasty ditch. Don't even try that in a wheelchair lol. My buddy, spider, had to get his scooter hauled out of that ditch when he tried to save gas money by using the bus.

But, yeah, the whole idea of cars as disposable to a degree has gotta stop. They're tools, not ego extensions.
