I always liked having a daily beater because I didn’t care how many miles I put on them, didn’t care if it got dinged in parking lots and did minimal maintenance as I just wanted it to run. I even got into a little fender bender and never got it fixed just because it didn’t matter. There is something serene about not caring about the car.
It's indeed so, nothing like being able to park wherever you want!

In Mexico, besides my RX300, I did have for a brief period of time a 1996 Dodge Caravan that I helped prop up with my uncle. Used it to drive on that one day of the week I could not drive my vehicle under the dia hoy no circula or today you do not drive laws based on your license plate's final number. My father used to keep around for a long time a 1979 Chevrolet Nova as a utility or he called it a game car for when we went to Miami Hurricanes and Miami Dolphins games. He had a Jaguar XJ6 that got keyed after one game.
