I bought a shitbox Chevy Impala two years back as a cheap commuter. I’ve been avoiding putting any money into it, because this thing is beat.
Well I finally caved and put four new tires on it yesterday, and all I can say is wow! The car drives a million times better.
Don’t ever skimp out on the things that go between you and the pavement, aka. tires and brakes.
I definitely keep up on repairs for my wife’s truck, but it’s hard to put money into mine when I keep expecting it to die at any time. It just refuses to give up.
Wheels are pretty easy to pull off if the car goes caput, but yeah I hear ya. Hard to prioritize the shitbox when everything else exists.
If you’re dragging your brakes on the road you’re doing it wrong…. Or Fred Flintstone 🤣
also included are shoes, beds and chairs… and your mom SCNR
I’ve heard a different variation where pavement is replaced with ground in general. That version applies to shoes, beds and basically anything between you and the earth.
I too love new tyre day.
The difference in ride quality is really noticeable in some cars.
Bert, every time.
