Re: What have been some of your worst car experiences?

[(Anonymous)]

As a child, I was in the back seat when my mom got v e r y s l o w l y sideswiped by another driver, a woman who was clearly still learning to drive and didn't speak English. She was trying to make a turn, hit us while we were stopped, waiting to make our own turn, and then rather than stop or back up, she KEPT GOING, slowly scraping the two cars together, until her turn was completed, then stopped. Our car used to make a chiming noise if you opened the driver's door while the key was still in the ignition, and it made that noise all the way home. After getting fixed, the car never made that noise again. Back then, instead of a chime or beep some cars would have a recording saying "THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION" so maybe it's good we didn't have to listen to that over and over all the way home?

I had a fan belt break on a highway in rural Iowa. I was stuck on the side of a road with little traffic, miles from a town, and this was back before I had a cell phone. Fortunately, a retired couple stopped, let me use their phone to call for a tow and call my parents, then took me to their place and made me a sandwich while we waited for my dad to drive the 3 hours down to pick me up. The garage was already closed for the day, so we had to drive all the way back down the next morning to see about getting my car fixed.

I once was approaching a red light and wanted to get in the turn lane. It was icy and when I breaked I spun a complete 360 degrees... and wound up exactly in the turn lane and pointed the right direction, without having hit anything or sliding out into the intersection. Despite the good outcome, my legs were so shakey I had a hard time pushing the clutch the rest of the way home.

I have both rear-ended and been rear-ended by someone (not the same person!) but in both cases there was no damage so we just said never mind and moved on.
