Things Were Wrong

Ol' Blue was an old car, and old cars do have things wrong with them. Unfortunately, Ol' Blue had more and more wrong everyday. This was an inclusive list, including some things that I've already told you about. The whole point is to give you a good idea of how many things were really wrong with Ol' Blue. Some of these things might seem trivial, but I decided to include everything that I knew about.

Rust, rust everywhere
