In less than 2 years I have had 2 flat tires, two warning tickets, and yesterday.....well, yesterday, the head gaskets in my engine failed.

Bright notes: This was not an instantaneous, catastrophic failure, so there was plenty of time to react and get safely off the road. And I had plenty of time to read -- while sitting in the car over an hour waiting for a tow truck, at the auto repair shop for several hours, at the rental car place....
