I agree with scoutleader. Just drive a car that looks like crap. My car looks like garbage, but is mechanically sound.(I'm a auto tech, so maintaining my car is easy for me) As long as it gets me from point A to point B, I'm good.
I had a nicer car until last August when I smacked into a guy at 50mph when he blew a stop sign. But, now, I don't care what it looks like. It just has to run good and be mechanically sound.(not fall apart)
My hooptie is a 1994 Dodge Spirit. 2.5L 4 cylinder. White with rust red accents. Thing runs great. 98K on the odometer. Bought it for $750 from a kid who got it from his grandfather when he passed. Kid drove it for a few months, then got another car, and sold this one. Found it on craigslist of all places. Put about $300 into it(tires, alignment, brakes, one driveshaft, fuel system cleaning, and a thermostat and coolant flush) and I've got a great running car. It's great to work at an auto shop. I get parts cheap, and labor is free in a good shop instead of my driveway.
As far as concealing a handgun in the car, there's a nice split in the front bench seat of the car that a handgun will fit very nicely into. Learned this little trick from my uncle who does the same thing in his truck. Just take it out of the holster when you get into the vehicle before putting your seatbelt on, then put it back in the holster before exiting the vehicle after taking the seatbelt off if you're someplace you can carry legally.
