The telling thing about that photo, to me anyhow, is the dent in the door of the car. It would cost maybe $30 for a professional to pull that dent out, but they never bothered. Instead, they've got a gun that costs a few hundred bucks.
The thing is, if you drive around a beat up car, people automatically lose respect for you and your vehicle. They lose any thoughts of consideration for you or your ride, increasing the chance that they'll cut you off or add another dent. Hell, it's already beat up so what's another dent? And if they're too poor to pay $30 to fix the dent, they don't have insurance either so they won't even report an accident since that would mean loss of license for driving without insurance.
