Funny you should say that. I had an '89 Saab 9000S a few years ago,
and found myself constantly doing stupid things in it. The most
idiotic was when I was trying to squeeze the car into a tight parking
space, and reversed straight into the car behind me. The other driver
was sitting in his car, so we both got out, and checked for damage (none
found), I apologised profusely, got back into the Saab, and did it
again...
>BTW the car is green but I do not think green cars are unlucky!!!
In our area green cars are quite unlucky, but red cars are by far the
most unlucky. Local yobs have apparently invented a game called "car
snooker", where they steal or vandalise cars in order, according to
colour. For every yellow, green, brown, blue, pink (pink?!), or black
car they hit, they've got to hit a red car first. No wonder everyone
now seems to be buying those shiny grey cars that are mistakenly called
"silver"!
