I'm rocking a 2006 VW Polo. Thing's a beast. Almost no power, endless tiny things wrong, but I got pushed off the road by a cement pump truck...and I mean...yeah it was "written off" but only because popping the dents and repainting it would be more than it's value. Most of what's gone wrong I've been able to fix myself for less than £100, and going to my friend's place to use his garage and big jack.

Because there's been a decades long effort to make American education really bad. There's very little ability for critical thinking in that group of people.
That's really sad.
