That is one of my pet peeves. I dont mind if you drive an old car, but to leave it in that kind of disrepair is just stupid. And illegal.
Honestly, stuff happens, and many people can barely afford to put enough gas in their run down vehicles to get to their jobs for which they need more money to pay for heating oil, gas, mortagages, etc....

I was once in a very poor situation and could barely afford the car insurance on a 1985 Dodge Aries SE, and one time the whole exhaust system broke away from the manifold, and all I could do was hang it up with a metal wire hanger, and then get it home to wrap a aluminum food can around it with some clamps until i could afford to have a shop fix it...

Don't judge others. Life is rough.
