Just an amusing story about a POS car...

My friend Neville had a Skoda back in the 1970s. It was always breaking down. One day he was just happily driving down the highway when the gearbox/diff locked up. It went into a skid and Neville went off the road, down a bank and nearly into a river. Neville climbed back up and hitch hiked home. A few days later a tow truck drive phoned Neville and offered him $50 for the car. I was slagging off the Skoda and Neville said "Don't criticise it, it's the only car I've ever made a proifit on."
