War Wagon

I think it is time for another car story. I remember one of our best/worst cars. We called it the war wagon. It was a station wagon that was built like a Sherman Tank. It was green and almost indestructible. It had some bad habits.
It attracted deer. They dashed out of the woods and sacrificed themselves by smashing into the war wagon. It gained a new nickname, the Deer Slayer. Even when we put deer whistles on it, it did no good.
It worked hard and eventually, the garage men drooled as they gave us a list of things wrong with it. The worst was no brakes.
We sold our friend to a junk yard where someone bought it for a song. They entered it in a demolition derby. The brakes did not work and the transition was shot so it only went backward. It won the derby and left a bunch of bashed up cars in its wake.

@akalinus @marlina Driving a car with no brakes can be the highlight of your life! I know it was the highlight of mine!
I was driving an old Dodge when its master cylinder failed as I was coming down a mountain 
, Jo Ann! It was one steep mother
, too! IDK how fast I was going when I reached the bottom, but the people I passed at the bottom of that mountain told everyone and their cousin that I must point the car in the direction I want to go and stomp the gas!
They called me point and shoot for several years!

@DaddyEvil Works for a camera, too. You are a funny guy. Glad you made it down the mountain in one piece.

Really? Deer Slayer? LMFAO! Nice, Jo Ann! Couldn't think of anything original, huh?
I've never killed a deer with my car before, but I did have a horse try to run my car down! It ran right over it, instead! I guess the horse decided the idiot driving my car was going too slow as it caught up with us and ...sorta passed us by... We had a big horseshoe print on the trunk and another on the driver's door!
The people who owned the horse blamed us for their horse's injuries, too!

@DaddyEvil You? I'm surprised. You mean the horse jumped on and over your car? What an experience! I would probably decide to give up driving. That would scare the **** out of me.

Once, there were two huge bulls roaming in the road at night. It was hairy trying to get past that pair. We finally maneuvered around them enough to point the car light down a side road. They fell for it and went galloping down the side and we hightailed it out of there.
