My dad has had no luck
with cars recently

Vehicle made by: Saab
Model: none
My dad has had no luck with cars. About a year an a half ago, something
broke on the back axle while he was on a corner and his car rolled 6 times
successivly. This knocked him out with a concussion to suit, then five months ago he
saw some idiot take a corner in the wet by our house and literally bend the
car round a lampost. My dad was with this poor kid as he died in the car with
bits stuck in his face and head, then two months ago my dad got a new Saab and
someone broke his rear window and couldn't get in so tried to pry open the door and
locks eventaully getting in and poped the boot to steal a laptop, network cabling and his
fleece for Christ sake. The insurance wanted to write the car off but
my dad took a settlement and got a mate at a garage to do the repairs.
Now yesterday driving home minding his own busininess, someone from the council in his
gritter or a lorry driver decided to take my old mans side of the road as well as
his own and totaly demolished the car.
My dad is ok, but now because he needs a car for work he's going to get himself into debt
buying another car until the insurance pay up.
I keep tellin him to take time off work and sue the ignorant driver for loss of
earnings and go to hospital and then sue again for whip lash. The council
drivers around here are rubbish. Last year we were woken when a bin lorry
driver ploughed into my mums parked car. A little further and it would have been
mine these people around here are rubbish drivers, do Wrexham council even
check to see if these people can actually drive?
To top this story off my dad took a car off a mate of his with the intention of paying
him when he got his payout, (the car was his mates mums) anyway it was a low
pressure turbo saab really fast, but there were quite a few small problems with
the car so my dad didn't want it. Driving back to the the house, some kids throw a
rock from the park, just miss the driver window and heavily dent the front/rear
door (Grrr angry).
This was my 'thread' on www.cavweb.com about a month ago. My dad has since got a wicked
saab anniversary and it looks lurvly, drives even better and has millions of
handy gadgets. But with my old mans luck i'd lock it up in the garage and start
using the bus!
