car problems

My bestfriend is having problems with their old red car again. It has been conking on them a little too often lately. Every now and then they've been replacing some auto accessories. It's just a good thing that they haven't met an accident yet. One time they were going down hill and the brakes just weren't working. Good thing they were able to stop by the road side without hurting anybody. I hope their car problems get solved soon and that their red car won't give them problems anymore. I know cars can really be useful but they can really be costly to maintain.
