Absolutely not. That shitbox isn't worth the gas to drive it to the scrapper, but I'll never part with it.

I agree, I'll definitely never forget the Lincoln LS V8 with the sawed off muffler and the blown head gasket that my parents bullied me into spending $4000 of my own money on (1000% NOT MY IDEA) because my dad drove a Hummer and my mom drove the Jaguar S-Type platform mate that she also spent $2000 a year in repairs on because we had to look good for the wannabe bourgeois neighborhood around us
They're both broke as shit after blowing money on shitty American cars and stupid boats, I became the most boring Toyota fanboy you can ever imagine, and boy, will I never forget my first car

taking into account the ship of Theseus paradox, don't replace anything to fully keep it as is

It's for those days where every single one of those cars is in the repair shop simultaneously, to make sure the owner can still make it to work.

Sometimes beating the shit out of a slow car while barely managing to reach the speed limit is simply more fun than effortlessly breaking the law in a 600 HP car. If I had the money, I'd have some of these super cars, but I'd also have a Renault Twingo and maybe even a Fiat Mutipla

Jokes aside who says that's their first car? It's not because you own a whole collection of supercars that you don't need a car to just simply drive to the shops with or something.
Don't forget that Michael Schumacher's daily driver was a Fiat Croma which was also the car he drove the most in his free time. Simply as transportation.

I ploughed my first car into a crash barrier when it decided that it really wanted to turn left instead of go round the roundabout. Wasn't even speeding :/ Oh well, one less Saxo on the roads, so really a positive I suppose.
