I live in a suburb neighborhood and drive an old car. It's a 2005 zr2 blazer, in decent condition too, and believe it or not, people have genuinely gotten nasty at me.

I've had people tell me that my car is "like the homeless drug dealer special" and that it needs to be replaced and to "stop torturing yourself with that piece of shit". I had a former friend once tell me years ago "you know, if I didn't know you drove one I'd think they're just another creepmobile".

Like, why does this even happen? I've never had this happen in the nearby city. People offer to buy my car in the city, especially in the poorer areas. Only my suburb town is where ive gotten this.

edit: also, worth noting that i also use it to dig people out of snow during the winter, and coincidentally, most of the cars i see getting stuck are new ones. Why buy tens of thousands of dollars in new cars when this and a 5 grand nissan leaf does the trick?
