It usually happens to me when:
1. I am hungriest. I skipped breakfast that morning, it's well past lunch,
I'm on my way to get something and-- whammo, breakdown.
Also:
2. The cleaner and nicer the clothes I am wearing, the more likely it is my
car will break down
3. The less money I have in my wallet, the more likely I will be called upon
to pay for a tow
4. The car senses financial need. I just lost my job, it's tax time, and I
have had a bunch of medical bills to pay. What's next? Car repairs, of
course!
5. If you have left your jumper cables in your other car, guess which car will
need a jump?
All true, I swear.
