My dad was a car salesman for the longest time, he always took huge pride in cars in general, and gets mad if he sees someone not take pride in them. I'm not quite like him, but do take enough pride to at least keep it decently clean inside. Right now mine is kinda dirty, like mostly dust/sand etc, and whenever I get in I always think to myself I need to clean it. Eventually I will.
I have a few spots where paint is pealing that I should fix too. I just spray paint it so it tends not to last, but it at least protects it for a bit longer than if I left it alone. Last year I did kinda a quick job of it, this year I'll try to clean it better and sand it better and maybe put on more coats.
Other than that though it's mostly just a tool for me, I don't see it as a status symbol. If I won the lotto I'd maybe buy a nice car, but unless I can afford to pay cash I'm going to stick to used cars and drive them to the ground. A new car is going to be "used" in a few year or so and start having misc issues that require repairs anyway. Rather pay to get my car fixed a little more often than having to make payments each month.
