It notes that "Unless recently-bought, any equipment owned by a person without the relevant skill will automatically be in poor condition."

You do not usually get a good cook who has blunt knives, a good shot who has a rusty rifle, or a good driver who has a car with bald tyres and a cabin full of shit.

Now, if I go look at the lockers and gear of my lifters... fuck.

It annoys me to no end that people will have (formerly) expensive shit like a tiny sports car and just trash it on the inside. Of course, part of that could have been the first owner but like I imagine that in the year the kid had it he put all these scratches and gouges all over the friggin interior. There's also a massive hole in the carpet for some reason. W T F

Take care of your SHIT

LOL....a zillion years ago a guy I worked with learned that his wife had literally never in something like 72000 miles changed the oil in her car (1990-something Buick). I think he said something to her in casual conversation about making an appointment to get his done and she was like "you what?" and that's when he discovered she had never learned that was something you had to do.

I used to work with a guy that threw his trash on th floor of his car. He got stuff at the drive through a lot and would just fill the car, back seat first then the passenger side. When it started spilling over into the driver's area he would get the car detailed. It was his actual planned out method of living. He never washed the car or threw anything out, just got it detailed every month or so.

They they would burn out the engine, not knowing oil changes were a thing, not paying attention to the lights on the dashboard.
