Someone asked for pictures of the car, here's the one from craigslist -
Issue's with the car - Cracked windshield, airbag issues, and what they think are bad motor mounts or transmission mounts (At steady speeds it rides fine, but while accelerating it gets very shaky). There are also a lot of little cosmetic things, and the reek of smoke. Otherwise, especially from the outside, it looks pretty much fine.
I basically went into this wanting to NOT spend 15k+ on a new car. I spend 8,700 and am not happy. I can spend another 10ish and have a brand new 2014 focus, for a couple thousand less than sticker price total, after taxes and fees. I could have done that from the start, I just didn't want to spend the money. I am now willing to spend the money for peace of mind, both to not have a constant reminder of the event, and to have a reliable car that I don't have to worry about.
I'm used to driving a super piece of shit vehicle. I'll take some pictures of my current car tomorrow, the one I have been driving around for the last 7 or so years. I bet I can give Tuco's wooden bumper a run for its money. How about expanding foam holding a window in place?!?!
As for my wife, no nudes, but here we are.
My wife making a face for the internets -
The two of us -
And my kids fighting chalk dinosaurs drawn on the concrete (currently my wallpaper)-
So, clearly scum of the earth.
