A Corsa's Epitaph

When Lord Dooku knelt at Anakin Skywalkers feet beacuse his lighsabher was lost. Do you think Anakin was wrong to chop his head off?
Dooku was unarmed but he was still a villain and represented the Dark Side of the force.
In a similar fashion am I a murderer for driving an Opel Corsa to its death, knowing the head gasket was gone and the oil flooded with coolant?
The 1.0 Corsa B still had another months test but its a Corsa, the kind of car an aspiring football hooligan might drive.
So no by my logic I did us all a favour by sending her to the scrapyard. Cost me 130 Euro but I made that back off the scrap and alloys and what have I learnt from the experience?
  • If its worth its own weight in scrap metal then buy it but don't spend a penny on it.
  • Don't buy from a Polish Cowboy (The Sump plug was stuck on with silicone, who does that?)
  • 3 cylinders is like a bike with only one pedal, you aren't getting up hills fast!
  • Never buy Opel/Vauxhall again (Crap cars and a nightmare to work on)
 Now it can be melted down and upgraded in life to a metal wheel-barrow or something.
