car 'character'
it seems every car that is not brand new has some character, some habit that is completely unique to that car;
our old cortina would shake out of gear every time we went up our old gravel driveway, our mini would stop dead on the road whenever it rained, our
laser displayed panic in a huge thunderstorm by doubling the indicator speed (heart racing) and the radio currently resets itself every time the car
is strated, cos if we wire it proberly it drains the battery overnight, the pajero simply liked to break down in costly ways at in-opportune moments,
and as far as i cna tell with my bus it is going to be a never ending process of inexplicable repairs and modifications by the numerous previous
owners. who elses cars have odd habits? what are they? what is the weirdest?

haha. just found a similar trick on my bus - the emergency light switch is only wired to make a buzzing noise inside the cabin, no lights or nythin
outside... sorta useless i guess?
