Were your friends embarrassed to ride with you? Did you ever contemplate wearing some sort of disguise while driving, so as not to be recognized?

The one I'm currently driving. It's a 92 Chevy Lumina that is slowing going to pots. The body wasn't that bad but someone smashed into it when i was at work and they just took off, no note or anything. It looks really bad now. As for people being embarrassed about it, i could understand because I am.LOL.Besides, the only people in it are usually my husband, myself and our kids. But no, no disguise is used. Everyone in town already knows that I drive the beater. That's how they know it's me, by the dents in the front fender, it's all smashed in.

Yeah I have always noticed that - Well to be fair they also drive Volvo’s which are good cars Not America made but still good. they are so extreme I think this is the flip side of the guilt they feel like when/if they do make it - get money etc.. they feel so bad about it. and never enjoy their success ya know. I grew up in a Hippy home and I tell ya the truth. It is always one extreme or the other I have rarely met one that was just stable they seem to be the exception to the rule - Look at California what a mess?

Me: 89 Corsica that was about to completely take a crap. Transmission started studdering ( jerked during shifts...in an , engine kicked back on after I took the key out to cough a couple more times before it was down for the count (like 4 hours till I could get it to purr again), steering wheel gave too much slack (so a few spins just barely got me around a corner), but the brakes gave none (I could stop on a dime, very sudden, never subtle), big spidered crack on the pass side part of the windsheild.....a bucket

First car I ever had was a 1977 Ford LTD. It was a boat and I hated driving that thing. As for wearing a disguise never even crossed my mind I could care less what people think of my vehicles.

This is funny...I drove a 76 crown vic. It was huge!! It looked like a narc car...The headliner was comming out beside the passenger backseat window, I called it "the drapery effect". It would flutter in the breeze as we drove down the street. Until one day, it blew out the window. My kids and I laughed so hard. I told them that the value of "Big Bertha" just dropped! The speakers were blown out so a friend wired a home box speaker to the radio. It took up all the floor space in the front seat passenger side. The driver side window would fall down into the door so I had another friend prop it up (inside the door) with left over wood peices. Great in the winter, terrible in the summer! My oldest daughter was just starting 7th grade,,,that horrible time for girls! She hated for me to drop her off at school or pick her up. I had so much fun embarrassing her. I would roll the passenger window down and yell,"Come on , we've got to go buy your winter panties today!" Or pull up with a horrible crocheted hat on with my BUBBA teeth in my mouth....oh it was so much fun!! I love being a parent!

My first car was a yellow and brown paneled station wagon from the 70's. Boy was I embarrased, it was as big as a boat. And it threw out so much smoke. It did get me from here to there, but yeah, I did wear a disguise. My friends all laughed at me. But guess what when they wanted to go somewhere they weren't laughing. I was their best friend!

My 1988 Ford Laser - and there was no point wearing a disguise, you could hear this pile of **** coming a mile off.
NOBODY wanted to hitch a ride with me.

My first car. It was a 1982 Olds Firenza. What a piece. It got me around for about a year. Then one night, there was a small fire and that was about the end of the Firenza. After that, I upgraded to a Mustang. Cool question.

a volvo with no reverse and no starter. Had to start it by always parking on an incline. Don't remember what model or even what color it was. This is an interesting question. I have driven LOTS of pieces of s*#t!!!
