Amen to that!

Example 1: I asked a workmate why he hates his AU falcon (which by the way he didn't pay for, it was given to him by his parents). His response was that it used up too much fuel, and the car was unreliable. I asked him what is your fuel economy at the moment. He responded by stating " Well on a recent trip back home, travelling along the highway, I averaged 9.4L with 3 mates and a boot full of crap." I then asked him what car would do a better job in that situation. His response "A Corrolla"

In all the times he has owned it, nothing has gone wrong with the car, and he abuses the car daily. i guess you can't please everybody.
