The Cars FAIL Blog

If you stay in Paris, and you can actually afford your repayment, you might want to drive your car to Germany during any celebration. 1,147 cars met their end on 2009’s new year’s eve.

It is common for French to torch their other people’s cars on fire as a form of protest to (whatever shit they’re in) show their anger. In fact, there are statistics where authorities monitor, and for 31st of Dec 08, there’s an increase of 30.64% up from 31 Dec 07’s 878 cars.

The staggering thing however, is that throughout 2007, there are more than 43,000 cars set alight, and as an average, each day there are about 100 owners who suddenly find that they might not be able to send their wife to hospital, or that they might just missed the interview for a job they dearly needed.

Cars in a modern society, are as if an individual’s legs. And each person’s daily schedules and routines are planned in a way that the time to travel from one place to another was factor in; burning other people’s cars as a form of protest will create very serious impact on a person’s life. Moreover, cars are oftenly the second most expensive purchase asset of a person, taking years for repayment.

And we all know insurance companies would try and explain that the fire caused was not due natural disaster, and the ones they bought are ……. all that bullshit.

At least 20 people were killed today, most of them Russian, when a tourist bus overturned near the Red Sea resort of Eiliat, in Israel.

Israeli rescue services said dozens of people were also seriously injured in the crash. A local official said the tourists were from St Petersburg, Russia, and had just arrived in Eiliat.

The Magen David Adom rescue service told Reuters that there were about 60 passengers on the coach.

The accident took place on a desert road near the Egyptian border.

Around 30 ambulances rushed to the scene, and Israel’s air force sent six helicopters to evacuate the seriously wounded.

Michel Alexei, the bus owner, told the Israeli Yediot Ahronot website that the scene “looks like a battlefield”.

Television footage showed that the bus had rolled down a slope into a ravine.
