Be glad that no one has been injured or left stranded in the rain/bad neighborhood/middle of nowhere because of said vehicle mishaps.
Kinda makes you feel grateful.
I sympathize with you on buying not a lemon, but the whole grove. We have had nothing but trouble since we bought a used car for Eldest Child. With the money spent, we could've gone to Carmax and had a reliable car with no worries. (It'll be worth the extra 2K I was trying to save - Ha!)
Oh well, live and learn.
Hope things get better for ya.
