In this final episode of the car story trilogy, Manuel recounts the turbulent journey experienced with a Kia Sorento, a car that he likens to car demons. The woes start with the vehicle losing power on the freeway and gets worse with constant electric and engine issues that cost him thousands to fix.

Struck by a series of unfortunate events ranging from oil leaks to engine failures, Manuel vividly describes his anger and frustration, finally coming to a decision to sell this 'son of a bitch' car that refuses to work properly. Clearly, this car has a dark, malevolent aura and passes on its problems to its new owners.

His next move is Toyota C-HR - a smooth ride but not suited for snowy terrains. His bad luck however seems to follow him, with car sensors being damaged in the snow and a costly misadventure with his keys that ended up damaging another crucial sensor.

Manuel's experiences illustrate the cumbersomeness of auto repairs and the exorbitant costs hidden beneath every mechanical issue. But despite his despair, Manuel signs off the trilogy with a tenacious spirit, making this a gripping tale of patience, resilience and an uncanny series of car disasters.
