 The kid's father turned up with a tow truck and hoiked it. It was
surprised that a Camry bent so easily. The front wheel folded under.

 I don't drive like an old woman! I get 25,000 out of a set ot tyres,
and I've never changed brake pads. I subscribe to the Navolari method
of driving, who after he won an F1 GP in his Bugatti with no brakes
said, "I drive to go fast, not to stop."

 Oho! Thank you! What a good idea! I can see how that would work..
like a charm.

Bob
