My first car when I was a teenager was free because it was trashed from having been in 6 or 7 wrecks and barely clinging to life. A â73 Dodge Polara wagon. Only one of the five doors opened (the rest were smashed in), the alternator was dead so I had jumper cables going through the dash to marine batteries in the passenger seat as backup juice that Iâd hot swap while driving, had to pour gas in the carburetor to start it, brakes were fucked so you had to use the parking break if you wanted to fully stop, the list goes onâŚ
I think it was the drunkenly circuit bent toy of cars.

If sum of bikes plus music gear is greater than car value, I am living on the right side of life.

Hyundai Veloster. Cool but a little weird. Many find it a bit tacky looking. Cheaper newer version of the real thing.

It had 650,000 miles on the clock.
Quality motor.

Achievable if one of the bikes happens to be a Pinarello Dyodo
Actually, iâm sure even a regular aluminum road bike these days is worth more than my car. Except perhaps to those mystery people who want to buy the car.

It baffles me. I drive a pickup every day for work but if I didnât have to thereâs no way Iâd own one. Theyâre a constant headache compared to a car (I really just miss my bike being my only vehicle).
And the whole âvanity truckâ phenomenon has made the market weird too. When I bought my current work truck it was hard to find one with a full size bed! Couldnât find one at all without a back seat! Really made me miss my old one but I donât miss getting eight miles to the gallon or fixing it every weekend. American trucks are becoming SUVs.

I can relate to this. I worked as a bike messenger for a number of years and lived in a downtown for 18. It was walking and cycling everywhere. I moved to a new city 7 years ago and itâs far less friendly to cyclists. Not an excuse but itâs certainly a detractor. I need my vehicle for work. It affords us some freedoms as well that we wouldnât have if only had our bikes.
That being said, I should really get out on my bike again <3

sum of bikes and music gear definitely is greater than the value of our car. embrace the midlife crisis.

I donât know if my old El Camino can be compared to any synth. Maybe a Polymoog - in that itâs big, loud, doesnât really know what it wants to be, and youâll often see smoke billowing from it.

It sounds like you drive my Crumar Performer.

That might very well be it. Does it suffer from a preponderance of flats?

Yeah, and it needs a tune badly. Every once in awhile itâll fart and backfire too.

That funny. I was thinking a Novation something since theyâre British too. (Ok, technically a BMW with a British accent)

TBH theyâre often hauling quite a lot of fat around.
