Because it isnmt worth it pure and simple. Today I was driving along in my adequate '85 Corolla during the 5 pm rush hour when all of a sudden " crunch" ,white van man who decides to turn to his right hits my right tailgate lights . I park just up the road and step out to take details only to find he has f*&%$£d off. A few years ago after I first bought this motor a geezer drives into me back and stoves the rear in. Fortunately the damage wasnt so bad as to make it undriveable and because of its age it wanst worth worrying about cosmetics so I didnt pursue the matter.
My truck has been involved in a few scrapes - gouge to nearside door cracked rear lamps on two occasions but then its a working vehicle so why worry? My previous commercial was hit no fewer than four times when it was parked , once by a drunk.What ,i ask myself, is the point of forking out for something that gives soo much worry and aggravation???? This is why I buy the cheapest I can and I never worry about cosmetics/image.I recently was told about a lady who bought a pink/ purple Citroen 2cv( collectors car) for about £2000 which was her pride and joy. Guess What? Bunch of drunken Chavs decide to walk all over the bonnet and leave their boot prints on the doors.The consequence was she had to sell the thing for £ 400 to my neighbour who does them up. Must have broke her heart.
I ask again what is the point in buying a poncey car? My next one will be another old banger thats for sure
