did my first ever used car browsing online and there's a car that's like really good on basically every aspect but the color is fucking NASTY. but ive been evolving a bit around it. and so now im like thinking "okay the bit's funny now but would it be funny in like seven years" kinda stuff

#like imagining my friends laughing (with me) at my car shouldn't factor into the buying process but it's sinking in anyway #we live in an area with really high auto crime rates right #so it being ugly and super visible would actually help with total theft at least. not sure about breaking my windows though #like i would be less likely to get hit at night bc of visibility but it's so nasty and indiscreet #what if i go on a date and they see the nightmare car and are like yk what nevermind #i'm gonna have to make eye contact with my coworkers after parking that there every day #and im gonna try to use it for as long as possible bc that's the goal anyway and also bc i know that shit is NOT reselling for ANYTHING #but its stats are so good i'd feel bad calling it a beater car...#anyway the most interesting choices are that and a really cute car with similarly good stats but #it's low vis and more expensive (but it's newer and diesel etc so like.. idk?)#it's a beetle... i'd love to cause violence via punchbug!!! also a conversation piece and not one that i have to like #put an eyes.train warning for!! yk!!! black beetle was made for me but at what cost #there's also other cars that are normal but those two are so memorable and almost feel like opposites #even though their stats actually overlap a good amount (like their mpg is the same i think)#if i have this car for the next 8+ years (the goal. the dream) then i better like it right #i want it to be durable and safe and cute and cost efficient #technically they're both all those things except the ugly car is ugly. but it IS funny in a way the beetle isnt!!#which is kind of like being cute #im so relieved to have a couple of car guys in my family bc idk shit about cars tbh #and i really thought i wouldn't care about what my car looked like but unfortunately i kind of do is what im realizing #and also i thought i didn't really have a dream car but i kind of do.. and it's a black beetle...#they're so cute to me... and it's small so parallel parking will be easier... and it's not like i'd drive many people around....#but its storage is bad and it's a convertible and idc about that but im probably paying more bc of it since other ppl care #ugh idk...#anyway #i mean. it would be nice to like my car... esp if i plan on using it for so long.... and a car that i won't get sick of....#but the beetle might not work well for transporting junk if i get into sculpture like i keep threatening to #and i feel like it might do badly in a wreck bc it's so tiny #ah idk...#update gonna have to say no to the beetle apparently that year's extra unreliable and they're already not the best cars
