for real. ive had fuckin 3 cars totaled on me through no fault of my own in the past 10 years. mostly just freak accidents like a branch falls on my car or a wheel goes flying off a car in front of me and absolutely wrecked my front bumper or some boomer rear ends me

no fucking way am i gonna blow more than 5k on a car. 5k is the range where you get decent not terrible used cars. im not going to be paying fucking indefinite rent on a thing that can be gone tomorrow if im unlucky
