My dad had purchased an Opel Astra after i had taken a liking towards it seeing an ad(also leading football teams had Opel on there jerseys then),so something i realize now is that i use to decide the cars in the family since childhood.Well that Opel cost a fortune in 1997 i imagine & that car was one of Stanley leathers first customers(nice huh,hated the smell though) & cost 40,000 then if i remember right,
but things took a turn for the nasty my mom wanted to help her best friend who was in trouble & had given the car papers to her to help her get some loan without my dads knowledge,so that lady dint pay up & our car was surety,dad had no idea & he was not in town,on learning so he was upset & did not bother with the car.
I saw the car again in 2005,it had a small spoiler ,dark tints & some unappealing wheels ,i knew Astras go for around 1 lakh then but alot of things had changed in my mind thanks to that car & the instances that followed it,
I/we do not prefer cars with black shade considering its bad luck & stopped choosing car numb which goes in decreasing order or has least numb in the end.
But most of all it taught me never put your heart where your brain is !!!
So No i would not buy back my cars atleast the ones sold until now.Except our old 1987 Van!
