Had the opposite situation with a colleague. Told us his car was a mess, expected this. But he had the cleanest, most pristine, old Mercedes I have ever seen.
Those are the two types of people. Overly anal about cleaning, or overly dirty pile of trash in need of anal. I don't make the rules I just follow them
I've seen this a lot with work cars and/or with people who work construction. Tbh my own car needs weekly cleaning not to resemble this because during the week you're just too tired to give a shit or clean it in the evening
My work truck looks like this most days. I spent 4-6 hours per day driving in remote areas/off-road.
I have more sensitive gear and equipment I need for my job in the back seat The bed is also usually full of equipment that is not as sensitive.
I keep a cooler full of water and several boxes of granola bars inside.
So whenever I fill up the tank, I spend a few minutes tossing trash out of the truck. It's the only way I have found to keep the pile of mess somewhat under control.
Once I year I clear out the truck and have it detailed to start fresh on the dirt buildup.
They are both trash cans and ashtrays they are just a drawer or box that can be filled. I do not see the functional difference in all those cars they weren't used as ash trays because smoking in the car makes the car smell like guess what, cigarettes.

Is it bad that I don’t really care as long as the car doesn’t stink?

I guarantee you there's rotting food in the back somewhere.

If your friend's car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it's because my mental health was in the gutter.

Are you trying to say you don’t drive a landfill?

Could be worse, there's a couple cars I've seen around town that look like this. Literally only room for the driver, but visibility is gonzo

I always keep my cars spotless. Slightly scented, never more than a little dusty, some dirt on the carpets but nothing more.
Now my home, on the other hand. That's a fucking pigsty.

I curb this by keeping a paper grocery bag behind the passenger seat and replace it when it gets halfway.
Also just emptying it completely every oil change (3 months). Backbacks, boxes, bags, umbrellas, jackets, hats or anything random gets removed.

are you doing okay man
yknow our environment tends to reflect our mental health and whatnot
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 282d
If cars were supposed to be clean they'd come with a bin.
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 282d
Very few things "come with" a bin. Houses don't. You generally have to buy one.
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 282d
Yeah, but all houses come with a trash corner.
cepelinas@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 282d
Here's the thing, most do altough they're small.
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 282d
I've legit never seen one in a car unless you're referring to the cup holders.
cepelinas@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 282d
They are seperate from the cup holders usually in a drawer. I have seen this in a mazda mpv, opel signum, opel astra J, ford galaxy and so on.
Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 282d
That's an ashtray.
