All my used cars were taken off the road by my own stupidity or sold ultra cheap out of kindness to friends (mistake)
First car:
>148k miles
>absolute rust bucket but serviceable and in good shape other than rocker panels falling apart
>junked it after letting a friend drive, who proceeded to drive through 14 inches of slushwater when a main broke in deep winter even when being told
>NO GO AROUND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS YOU IDIOT
>NO DONT FUCKING DRIVE THROUGH GO AROUND THE WATER
>vehicle 1. stalled 2. Needed a tow to push to a parking lot nearby 3. developed an oil burn and lost both rear brake lines from the freeze
2nd car
>134k mile grandma sedan
>sold to idiot friend for $600 when I was moving out of state
>he somehow managed to thrash it hard enough to blow out the trans in 9 months
I suspect he was slamming it into/out of R and D while the car was moving, on top of driving like a retard
3rd:
>hit a massive drainage of water, skid offroad into mud, then into power pole at 15mph
>car was fine, just front bumper damage, but 18 months later I was moving and gifted it to another retard friend
>retard friend somehow got into a collision literally 11 days later
>retard friend also expected my insurance to 1. Still be active 2. Cover them AT MY FAULT
That's when I stopped helping friends with car stuff.
4th:
>driving on old shit tires, trying to make a light, guy in front of me powerbrakes at max effort and I skid into his truck at 15 mph
>front end totalled
>car would have been good for another 40k miles easy
5th, current:
>in fine shape, only needs typical maint, but I drive it like a mad bastard and am wearing out the transmission
All of these were either bought at between $2-3k (20225 dollars) or given to me, except for current which was $4,800
None of the vehicles died from unavoidable part failure, I killed them or the idiot I gave them to killed them.

I just listened to his show. Someone called in saying they had a $700/mo car payment and Dave told him to sell the car and buy a used car under $5k in…
