It is interesting to see the different paint jobs these people come up with.
I saw one on the freeway a few months ago that was literally a mirror. An iridescent rainbow mirror. It was so distracting I think it should have been illegal, hubble-telescope-caliber spotless immaculate reflections of all the cars & lights & road & sky. It was quite distracting and was holding up traffic until each car driver eventually snapped out of their hypnotic awe and passed the bugger.
Yeah, I know there’s a lot of flimsy assumptions behind the sentiment…
Curious question, though: is your vehicke important because of what it enables (maybe lifestyle or just a car-oriented city) or is it a status symbol or some core part of why you are (are you a driver or something?)
Its odd to me one would be so important but I’ve always ridden bikes as well as seeing them as a tool and been fortunate to live in a small city with token public transport, so I’m just on a different part of the spectrum, really…
I live in a 10 ft tall Mercedes Sprinter RV conversion. It is my entire life and my home. I live at the beach (or wherever the heck I want), I can wake up every morning at whatever appointment or job I have on any given day, I can travel anywhere I want and I never have to get a hotel because I’m always home, I don’t have to pay rent, mortgage, or utilities, I love this lifestyle and if anything ever happens to this van then I will buy another one and continue living like this by choice because this is my favorite lifestyle I’ve ever had in my entire life. And I have 3 bicycles too 😄

And that’s why we have car insurance - you could have put everyone out of their misery by crashing into it
Oof I’d leave that martyr shenanigan to someone else. My vehicle is everything to me and I would never intentionally damage it.
