I used to a 1983 Buick Park Avenue, that I would have called "un bazou" (which is québecois for beater), and the fact that it was older and bigger just let me relax a bit more around crazy drivers, because I didn`t really care if they hit me - I didn`t have collision coverage, just liability.
However, I didn`t drive less carefully or defensively - I just used the bigger and older factor intimidate aggressive drivers, as in, "I don`t really care if your BMW SUV is worth 90 grand, you still shouldn`t cut me off, and if you do, your repair costs will be outrageous, and your insurance rates will go up because it will be your fault not mine."
