"...I'm already dead, don't kill my wallet too!"

SALEM—As all hallows eve approaches zombies are coming back from the dead and out of their graves. Among them some car enthusiasts have emerged, and they immediately faced an existential crisis as they witness the skyrocketed prices of their beloved "shitboxes."

These zombie car enthusiasts are individuals who have a deep-seated affection for dilapidated, rust-ridden, and mechanically decrepit vehicles, often referred to affectionately as "shitboxes." Much like normal car enthusiasts, the difference is they are DEAD.

However, the prices of these once-affordable clunkers have risen from the dead in an alarming way. Enthusiasts are grappling with the realization that their beloved "shitboxes" have become shockingly expensive, forcing the zombie car enthusiasts to quip, "I'd rather go back to my grave."

One zombie car aficionado lamented, "The whole point of the 'shitbox' culture was to embrace the unconventional and the cheap. Now, these cars are becoming collector's items, and it's disheartening. If my heart worked I'd be heart broken." Another zombie chimed in, "We used to be able to pick up these cars for a few hundred bucks, but now they're selling for thousands. I'm already dead, don't kill my wallet too!"

The surge in prices can be attributed to the growing interest in nostalgia, classic cars, and even the repurposing of older vehicles for unique custom projects. As a result, what was once an affordable passion for the undead car enthusiast has transformed into a pricey endeavor.

The "shitbox" community is now at a crossroads, faced with the challenge of adapting to the evolving market or finding new ways to celebrate their passion for the unloved and underappreciated vehicles. The undead car aficionados are going back to their graves and hopefully this all blows every by next year.
