[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive a car that over 15 years old. It's reliable and gets me from A to B. I've been noticing lately I'm becoming embarrassed of my vehicle. For instance, I would never want to give someone outside of my immediate family a ride in it. Even though I'm embarrassed, I don't care enough to spend thousands of dollars on a new nicer car. Those of you with old cars do you feel embarrassed about your car?[/quote]

There is a difference between an old car and a beater. I don't think people care about cars that are old, they care about cars that have been mistreated. If your car has numerous bumps and bruises on the outside, dirty/smelly/messy interior, then that signals to others the type of person you are - someone who let things go and don't take care of their responsibilities. If your older car is well kept, even if the paint has faded, it will show as clean and neat, and no one should be embarrassed about a car like that. The only people who look down on a well-kept older car are doing so for image-conscious reasons, and you don't have to play that game.
