Car repairs, who needs them!

So Monday night I attended my first ever demolition derby. I was a little skeptical when Neil told me he wanted to go, but I figured I should see what they are all about, since I am marrying the guy (although he didn't mention demo derbies in the proposal). I was pleasantly surprised (if pleasant and demolotion can be used in the same thought). We sat for 2 hrs. watching cars smash in to each other until they couldn't move anymore. I was amazed how long these cars lasted. Cars were driving on top of each other, smashing in to cement blocks, and ultimately having to be carried out by forklifts. But, some cars never gave up. Look at number 41 in the picture, the blue car. At the time of the picture he was still driving around smashing in to people despite all the smoke coming from the engine. So, why do I need to bring my car in when the bumper is hanging off or the muffler is gone? These cars were doing just fine. I dont' know, maybe car repairs are just a big scam.
