2. My sister's airbag light kept coming on and the service guy told her that she shouldn't be driving it because the airbag could deploy at any time while she was driving.

3. One of my co-workers just called on his way to the hospital. His wife had just totaled her car and was in an ambulance.

I'm afraid to drive now!

So it's not just my family and friends with the car problems on Friday the 13th?

My mom got a ticket today.

My best friend's car is acting up--it won't accelerate properly. (Doesn't want to go over 20 mph).

Today I failed the freaking road test for the
4TH time. I'm so ready to pull my hair out about that one. I've practiced my ass off. But every time I get in the car for the road test, I can't stand to have someone scrutinizing everything I do, and so I screw up because of nervousness. I think this is a result of the first time I took the test, because the woman who gave me the test yelled at me, which made me screw up more. I think I'm scarred. Oh, this is embarrassing.

Anyway, your list still has mine beat, I must say, Patti.
