Bob believes that relying on makeshift repairs for a car seat is acceptable because it functions as an additional safety feature.

“I'm considering doing that with this car it just it doesn't aesthetically it doesn't go with the look that I'm trying to achieve so it's you know it's less desirable it's basically a safety feature because if you get hit head on somehow you'll go flying out the back with your seat included”

Wade suggests that when a car is totaled by an insurance company, the vehicle loses its emotional significance to the owner.

“if so it doesn't really matter cuz it's dead to me and so are its feelings it's kind of like when you lose a person you kind of talk to them for a little while you go to the cemetery and then you forget and you go less and less over the years”
