I did, too.

For a majority of my life.

Owning a beater is LIBERATING. You don't worry about some scheissekopf parking next to you at Wally World and leaving a big dent. Let him! He'll do more damage, money-wise, to his own door.

You don't wash it. You change the oil yourself - the cost is, the oil. And it's essentially free transportation.

I wish I'd been able to save photos of my beater fleet, over the years. Ford Granada with the floor rusted out, and wiring I did myself. Three AM General Postal Jeeps (looked like Jeeps but made by a different AMC division; surped out by the Postal Service). The best car I had in that period was Blazing Saddles, my Texas-purchased Ford Pinto Squire. Second best...a two-year-old Yugo I bought for a thousand bucks.

Sadly, the Yugo didn't last. The Pinto, I got five years out of.

Unfortunately, it's harder to do that today. So MUCH electronic crap that just shuts the car down when it doesn't work. You have to buy at least 20 years old to be able to do your own repairs on it, and they are no longer $200. Try $5000 for something sound.

EDIT: When I was a blog editorial and essayist, I did a piece - twenty years ago - on "The Winter Car." Should I post it, maybe over in my "Fiction" corner?

*From the comments below the vid:
Being just an occasional recreational "low risk" video poker player, much of the info may not apply to me, what I did find useful was perhaps how the game of poker parallel's life itself. Like we are all metaphorically dealt a random set of cards at birth, some being dealt a worse "hand" than others, yet having a chance to improve that "hand" (still nothing in life is guaranteed). Your stoic advice of "don't try and chase your losses" and "don't panic" seem useful in everyday life situations (financial or not).
 
Poker is zero sum. It does not add any value to anything. I do not despise those who play, but I would rather spend my own time on productive activities.

I wrote before that I played poker on a tablet game ("dogs playing poker") and they were really good. I found that the only way to win was to bully them. At that point, I decided that I do not want to play poker if I have to bully the other players. Winning is when everyone gets something good out of the deal. Zero sum is probably a bad play. I hesitate to state it is completely bad, as someone might give a good example of how it can be a positive. I wait for this justification.

Came across this one after watching her vid on how she bought her airplane. In it she talks a bit about her "journey." Nothing earthshaking, just how she's trying to reach certain goals. IMO..........took guts to make this. 5 mins long.

YouTube Monetization Journey, Analytics & Beyond​

Here I talk a little bit about my goals and fears in starting the channel, my workflow, and my progress so far. My hope is to eventually be monetized which will help fund the goal of flying around the world, making fitness videos in cool locations and encouraging aviation. I am trying to take some advice from Mr. Beast and my viewers and make a few changes / additions.
