We have a similar story. We had an old station wagon and when it needed a new transmission we had to use our old VW to take our six children to church. It was against the law; but we didn't get caught. Later on my son got the VW to drive. When he left on his mission i had to get it parked into our garage and in doing so there were on brakes at all. We still don't know how he drove it without brakes; scary. <br />I loved your story and of course, it dragged up an old memory. <br />Blessings!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-13346241239914487202014-02-12T21:21:27.995-07:002014-02-12T21:21:27.995-07:00My friends daughter once bought a car because she ...My friends daughter once bought a car because she liked the way it looked, all shiny and red, completely ignored the obvious duct tape under that shiny new coat of paint, didn't even take it for a test drive. Poor girl was back on public transport two weeks later. She learned her lesson though and thereafter bought from a reputable car dealership.

I wonder why the former owners went to the trouble?! <br /><br />The picture of the horse teeth brought back memories of being bitten on the upper arm by a sassy young horse at the barn where my daughter took riding lessons. Unlike you, I am a wimp. It hurt. It really hurt!! I give horses a wide berth now, something like you and your husby give rusty cars a wide berth :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-86464954580847784932014-02-12T09:31:55.776-07:002014-02-12T09:31:55.776-07:00LOL...reminds me of our first car, affectionately ...LOL...reminds me of our first car, affectionately known as the Flaming Deathtrap.
