What's something we can do or modify to make our shitboxes better right NOW?

Post things you've learned
comfy rules apply, no meanposting

Sell it for a better car?

Really though, that's hard to answer without a baseline.

New tires, fresh fluids, replacing old/worn components is always good.
Vacuum your floor mats, hang some smelly trees from the mirror.

Put those vent clips on the vents under your dash that warm your feets so you can keep your dashboard looking clean
Don't have shit from your mirrors, that looks tacky as hell.
Get window tints, so comfy

If they don't clip on I will use double sided tape on the outside clip to make it stay on. It works well with the febreeze ones with the liquid inside, but the solid ones have never worked well in any capacity for me.

More tips for good smelling car
Get activated charcoal and hide it in areas. Good spots are under the seats by the vents and in your spare tire area. If you get the ones incased in soft cloth, you can shove them virtually anywhere. Cat litter in a sock works really well too, but kinda ghetto and your car will smell like litter which may or may not be better than the scent you're trying to get rid of.

>Actually paying for that horribly scented garbage.

Just put a fabric softener underneath each seat.

Your shitbox will smell like fresh laundry.

You can rip out the intake snorkel in Boxsters and Caymans to make them sound cooler

Replace your suspension components. Your car will drive practically brand new.

In fact, if you look in your manual, it should tell you all the parts that should have been replaced at a certain mileage. There's a reason for that

remove catalytic converter

Replace your window wipers.
Keep it clean and wax it, it'll hold its value better.
Keep on top of engine maintenance
Check wear on suspension and tires

You can be that guy!
