Anyone Else Sick of Their Car???

Had to laugh;

Man sets fire to himself while torching his Ford Falcon

A FRUSTRATED Toowoomba man was so angry at his car continually breaking down that he set it on fire and in the process ignited himself.

The Magistrates Court heard the man, 21, was taken to hospital with burns to his face and hands after the fire, in April this year.
The court heard emergency services had earlier been called to put out the Ford Falcon which was burning in Boundary Street, at about 2am.

The magistrate noted the man's car had not been insured and was worth about $3000.

It was lucky the car was the man's or he may have been charged with arson instead of the lesser charge of unauthorised lighting of a fire.

He was fined $300.
