Six months after he bought it the van looked worse than a New York City taxi. This guy can trash a vehicle faster than anybody I've met.

I'm with you. If I had gone long enough for it to be noteworthy, I'd certainly be embarassed to say so on this forum. I cringe whenever I see people who obviously don't take care of their cars. When I see them broken down in the middle of a busy intersection, I'm always tempted to roll down my window and say, "Ahhh-ha!" like Nelson on The Simpsons.
