4. They Thought the Mechanics Fixed Their Car... They Thought Wrong

Among the most costly kind of repairs one may make are car repairs. Should you bring your car to the shop for inspection, your chances of not departing with a long and costly list of repairs virtually completely absent. Though their car was old, this guy decided to take a chance and pay $2000 to have his car fixed, hoping it would cover him for some time.
Sadly, that was not the case; the car caught fire and was totally destroyed the day they paid for all the repairs. Every owner of an automobile can relate to this situation. Tragic and darkly humorous is the irony of spending a lot of money to guarantee the lifetime of the car only to have it severely self-destruct the very next day. One can only image the owner's shock and annoyance at seeing their just rebuilt car practically burn up in smoke. This event begs issues regarding the caliber of the repairs, the state of the vehicle before to the work was done, and the erratic character of mechanical problems. It's a sobering reminder that occasionally, despite our greatest efforts and financial outlay, things could go horribly bad. This event probably left the owner not only without a car but also with a great sense of remorse and a narrative to share for years to come warning about the dangers of car ownership and upkeep.
