I can't help but wonder why cruddy cars are called lemons. I mean give the lemon a break. In fact, lemons are not too bad if you put a little sugar on them. Anyway, how do you deal with a car that's a lemon, a demon... the car from hell. Shot it... and dump it's remains in the river.

If you live long enough and suffer from Caritis (Caritis is a swelling in the brain that affects good judgment in the mechanics of buying a car) like I do; you will eventual stumble into one of those blasted sour cars, OK, a lemon. Gosh, why didn't we call them grapefruit or something?

If you have had the misfortune of buying a lemon, you really might as well be thankful for the experience. I mean think about it, how many people get the opportunity to study anger management with out a court order. You get a lemon you will learn how to control your anger, tears, and learn the lemon laws of the state you live in. Oh yeah, some states do have lemon laws and you just might be able to make the dealer who sold you the grapefruit... OK lemon, refund your money or give you another vehicle. It really depends on the agreement you signed when buying the car.

Another option you have when you have a... a... Lemon, you can fix it. Gee your kidding, fix it, you have to be kidding. No, just take it to a good auto mechanic and fix whatever is not working. After you have it fixed, you may still have a lemon but now you have a lemon with a coating of sugar. At least that idea might make you feel a little better about your mistake.
