I owned three cars in my life, all registered on my name. But the first two suffered a painful ending.
1993 BMW 318i - I never wanted to own a german car but my father persuaded me that a BMW is the best first car you can afford. It was a good car and i was fine with it. But i blew up the radiator three times! First time i was stuck in the snow and when i was almost free, the radiator blew up. Second and third time the car was simply overheating in Stop-and-Go-Traffic. At the third time, the water balance can was destroyed and my father replaced it. One month after the repairs of the radiator, i had a horrible crash on 22 November 2012. I crashed head on into an Audi A6 fresh off the line. The Audi driver has received this brand new Audi while his old Ford Mondeo was in repair. Luckily there were no fatalities.
1999 Chrysler Stratus 2.5 LX - It had only 57.000 kilometers on the odometer when i bought it. White leather seats and all electronic stuff that was available in 1999. Remote window control, seat heating, cruise control and Sentry key - Stratus was one of the first cars to have it! Sentry key makes it harder to steal a car, because you need to replace or modify the engine control unit in order to override the sentry key function. This was my most favorite car and i promised to never sell it again. But then i suffered my biggest lost and i tried to keep away my tears. In April 2015 i was driving to my work and i knew the road very well. There is some part with no junctions and you can drive very easily. I passed a bus stopping at a bus stop and didnt worry about the guy in front of me, because he was far away. For some seconds i looked into the rear mirror to check if i am clear to get in my lane again after overtaking the bus. Everything was okay, but when i looked to the front again, the blue van in front came to a complete halt. It was already too late for me but i braked as hard as i could. With an estimated speed of 35 km/h i crashed into the rear of the blue van. While i only suffered minor injuries my car was totalled. We tried everything to fix it but it was destroyed beyond repair.
2000 Chrysler Stratus 2.5 LX - My third car is almost identical to the old one. The electronics are working fine and i had no problems yet. But two things are negative: It has more kilometers on the odometer and it has black leather seats! I hate black leather seats. They are ugly and they are heating up too much. Maybe some day i will replace the seats with white leather seats.
