Default Is it a Sin?

To drive my Hawk down 8 Mile Rd, the nasty *** dirt part of it, 6 miles every day? I'm trying to convince my wife I need a junker. That and it can't be good for my 1LE either!

No way would I drive a '02 Firehawk let alone my freaken '95 Formula on a dirt road. My grandparents drive along a dirt road evey day and over time it totally f's the paint up and it happens fast and its pretty much permanent. Also u will hafta clean that car every day practically. I say just buy the beater screw ur wifes approval this is a life and death situation with ur Firehawk lol.

No, this isn't the Eminem part of 8 Mile this area has more horses than drug dealers. The paint is perfect (for having 32K miles) and I just got my first rock chip

Think I'm gonna buy a truck from the guy 2 houses down. Clean, 4X4, 2500 bucks. I can drink to that

I got a 98 Buick Skylark off a friend of mine for 1500 bucks and it only has 85k miles on it. Hell it runs and drives fine and the beauty of it all is my wife drives it. I get to drive her 04 SUV cause she work 30 miles from home and as we're all seeing gas is priced way too high so she takes the buick cause it gets better gas mileage. Get you that truck man and cover up your baby
