Hard To Handle

You've only been here four years But hard to handle is your way We wanted you so much at first Now we want to give up every day Noises we've not heard before Another accident down there Now what comes from underneath Has a smell that's hard to bear It's so hard to fill you up You were a chance we had to take But you're not worth the trouble That a used car tends to make!

G'day PAT … humour is laughing at someone else's misfortune. At times buying a used car is buying someone else's problems - well done PAT - Lindsay

Maybe it's just acting out for attention? Hope it's at least paid off :)
