This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

If I had a choice I would switch. Sadly my reality is I drive what I was lucky enough to fall into, which in this case was a gas vehichle. I didn't get to pick it, i had little money and my cousin was selling it for the same price as the trade in value. That total was probably 50% less than that car would have sold for on the floor. I have lived my life where every car i have ever had was basically hand me downs or good deals because i just don't have the money to invest into a car outside that way. Luckily I do wfh so i don't spend that much on gas anyway.
