The modern car. When I say modern I am taking a slight liberty, it has a number of gizmos on it and a computer regulated engine so what could go wrong?
Well after a diagnosis of failing health I moved over to an automatic car, it had to be done in a speedy fashion so I grabbed the first one to cross my path an MOT failure that was easily fixable with a tin of expanding foam, some body filler and a new exhaust .
Well 3 years into its new life the car has developed a number of rather annoying habits, one being the gearbox which now seems to have an inbuilt danger sensor and reduces power on entering roundabouts or when asked to overtake or simply pulling onto a main road.
Its latest trick is the central locking that has developed epilepsy, the fucking thing wouldn’t let me out last night, I got home and tried to get out and the system went into a click click fit for a good 3 minuets leaving me stuck in the car.
This morning the fucking thing did the same trick trying to keep me out, the neighbours were woken by the central locking system machine gunning away, fortunately the alarm did not come in to play, which is also up the shitter and goes off should I attempt something so bizarre as gain access by the drivers door. (I think the lock may be jammed with accumulated earwax from the previous owners)
All in all the car is a total cunt and I yearn for the days when cars were cars and the only thing that went wrong with them were brakes, clutch or engine.
