remember my C$900 lau pok chia in pluto ? the plymouth acclaim ?
... more than a quarter million kilometers on it .... the engine
block leaked, the power steering fluid reservior leaked, the rear
shocks were gone, it bleeched black smoke, and it left a stain on
the floor everywhere I parked .... hell, even the brand went
extinct ...

actually wanted to buy. I have absolutely no sympathy for
them now.
