It's good commercial sense; sell big overpowered expensive cars to rich thick people, but load them up with safety equipment and build the chassis out of girders. When they smash the car up and survive, they'll be so grateful you've saved their lives that they'll come back and buy another one.Originally posted by zeitghostLike the bodyguard did.
Just goes to prove that being rich and thick aren't necessarily darwinian advantages.

What make of car is it?They should have used a tin opener - Fiat's are still made of tin foil, aren't they?Originally posted by Scrag Meister View PostFiat Punto 06.
Broke in through the passenger side window, no other access as doors are deadlocked.
Gonna cost me £75 excess on the insurance for the window. Now I'm really f'ing angry.
