cunitedparent, it looks like you'd rather hide behind the bushes and shoot at the car with your rifle (shoot at the salesman and previous owner, too)
using your example...let's say i have owned this car for, oh, about six or seven years now. it runs fine, gets me where i want to go, never left me on the side of the road, never had any serious issues with it. but, all of a sudden, somebody tells me it's a piece of junk, so i should go quickly to the nearest cliff and push it over the side?
