Wow, I just wasted my time scanning thru this thread, surely 7 pages in a week has to be a super interesting thread, right? No, not at all.
TL;DR
Some dude bought a boring car at a reasonable price, but, shock and horror, a used car on South African roads has buckled wheels! Must be a lemon, surely, and you sir, are an idiot; apparently.
Anyway, I've learnt this lesson too many times; being the "car guy" in my family/friend group, I go out of my way to assist people to find decent cars, but the minute there is a problem (shock and horror) with a used car, I am somehow involved. It is nice to help people, but as per the thread title, no good deed goes unpunished.
