Back in my army days I was told my beat up Chevy Malibu was unbecoming of an officer and I needed to buy a new car. So I just started biking and running to work instead.
In hindsight that shaped how I consider transit today, so I guess it ended up benifiting me pretty well in the long term.
Officer showing up on a bike feels way respectable anyway.
Army guys in their mustangs or chargers that they paid 80k for look dumb. Or god forbid those pavement princess trucks.

My cousin's Chevy pickup (used for work like woodcutting in the late 80s) had a magic broken front end. Even in heavy traffic it had a car-repulsion aura, and everyone gave it the right of way.
