I can't even describe how bad it was, I've never known a car like it, even my dad always called it the 'hairdryer'. When I was a teen she used to park it down the side streets when she picked me up from nightclubs so I didn't get embarrassed, bless her, I wouldn't have cared what she drove or even if she was a 'way out' parent, she's my Mum and I love her despite a crappy car, plus she picked me up at all hours.
