About 6 months ago we bought a car, from a friend of the family! As you might guess this was a big mistake... 2 days after we got the #$%^& car the battery went, then the radiator, then the timing chain, then the alternator, the wipers stop working, the hooter didn't hoot and the window winder broke.
And every time something big brakes, my poor husband was driving to work on the highway, in the middle of one of the hottest summers I can remember, he had to sit on the side of the road no cafe in sight and wait for 2-4 hours. He was recently promoted too manager of his own branch... what a great time to get stuck on the highway!
Sooooo, for the last 6 months we have been fixing things on that car on a monthly basses and while every thing broke, they still try to steel it 3 times, the third time they did it in broad daylight in front of our flats, aaaand broke the ignition!
Service it to say, we hold no affection for the piece of scrap!!! But there is a light at the end of the tunnel we got ourselves a new car (well not NEW but BETTER). We have to go in tomorrow to sign the final papers and then we can drive off into the sunset... lets hope.
If this car brakes down on the highway, I have given my husband permission to through a match into the petrol tank!!

You could always find people who hunt. Chances someone's got some really big guns, and you could have a blast blowing it up or something.
...I should have done that to my old car. :)
