I do the surpised pikachu face everytime I am in car with a radio. It's cool that you can listen to music in your car without having to use earbuds with you phone lol
#that's me tbh#my first car was a '99 Fiat model and now I have a Smart from 2007. the Fiat was genuinly a very broken car#the Fiat didn't have ABS. or suspensors. or AC... or many other things. I drove it like you drive a bicycle#knowing that a car crash could cost me my life#for the sole reason that it was not a safe car to drive...#my current car is still very old. it has AC and ABS and poorly mantained suspensors as long as a centrilized lock. which is new for me#but it id still old. no radio. no stuff like those cool bloootooth speakers I often see in cars now#it also have a trunk that needs to be manually opened#I recently joined a ride in an electric car from 2022. and it felt like going on a spaceship. it had ledlights inside the car#it was so weird#being poor is just like this... I can only buy second/third/nth-hand cars that are really cheap and usually in such a bad state#it feels alienating sometimes. I talked with a friend recently about how I had to change my car because the one I had was going to explode#(no joke btw. the old Fiat was one bad brake away from collapsing finally)#and my friend said “oh is it new?” no. it's old... I will always have old and used cars. I (unlike my friend) don't have money for new#this friend of mine has a very recent model of a car that is honestly very expensive. she got it as a gift from her parents#meanwhile I had to use three paychecks to buy a secondhand car that still doesn't have a radio.#it feels so alienating to be poor sometimes... especially when it comes to things like this
