What were they thinking?

My brother in law bought a used Audi sedan a year ago. He fell over when he took it in for the simplest of repairs. He sold it 6 mo. later.
my brother-in-law bought a used 7 series BMW. It had to go in the shop every year for something or other, and every time it was at LEAST $2k. He eventually cried "uncle", and got rid of it. He doesn't miss it one little bit.
