ohh i forgot one of my faves!, also many moons ago, we had a 80's ford wagon, which was a peice of junk compared to modern fords, but it was in good nick, and had spent a small fortune on it, anyway we were getting the finishing touches done, new steel radial tyres, front end completely rebuilt, when the mechanice was taking it for a short test drive, some mufti rear-ended him, writing off our car, and insurance only paid market value, which was about 2k, it had cost us 10k

and we werent rich at the time, that was very sad
