If your car breaks down do you:

(a) dismantle it in order to work out why it broke down

(b) set fire to it and make it all just go away

(c) try sell the car off as "slightly used"

(d) argue with the car and insist that it's choice in breaking down was wrong and that you should be given a second chance

(e) all of the above

None of the above are recommended but if you do any of these please do write in and share your story, I could do with a laugh.
