You wreck vehicle I provide you get worse replacement.
That's how it was with my ex-wife. I got her a nice 2000 Buick regal in 2006 had a little rear bumper damage was perfect from 3 sides. Had it barely 2 years. She was driving in excesses of 60mph on a dirt road and flipped it. I told her not to speed on dirt roads because here response to loss of traction is like a squirrel falling out of a tree her instinct is to do everything wrong, she was giving her loser friends a ride which I told her not to do so long as I was paying for gas and tires and she wasn't wearing her seat belt, said a dog ran out in front of her, I taught her to drive and standing orders were if a dog runs out in front of you, you hit it because you suck at driving and you will crash if you swerve to avoid it, almost made me $400,000 richer in the process. Her replacement car was buy your own for not listening times 4 at least and for not dieing and making me $400,000 richer.
Yeah we weren't married much longer after that.
