Working a new job delivering golfcarts for a few weeks now for this small business that buys, sells, and repairs various battery powered vehicles. A few weeks in our main vehicle, a 2001 diesel chevy pickup truck had been leaking antifreeze and water for some reason they didn't disclose with me- on my way back from a trip the radiator hose more or less exploded and began spewing out coolant like a steampipe, prompting me to crawl my way to the nearest autoparts store I could before help could arrive to assist me with my vehicle breakdown in the east-dallas ghetto. Appearently 7 out of the 8 heads on the engine were blown and were leaking coolant into the motoroil so that vehicle is out commision.
I had been tasked with trying to deliver 2 golf-carts via our little dinky ford scion on a fairly long trailer, my boss(es) having assured me the scion could pull said trailer at 70ish miles per-hour after I had experienced fishtailing fighting my vehicle on a trip back. Anyway, 30 miles into a delivery carrying 2 carts with this scion+trailer the trailer more or less IM IN CONTROL NOW, throwing me from lane to lane, until jack-knifing against my vehicle, violently throwing itself off from my hitch and rolling into the ditch off on the side of the freeway, luckily me and the scion were both unharmed.

And their exalted, ford f-350 diesel they just got done spending a fortune on to 'fix' its turbocharger up and died on me after having stopped at a stop light, need some help from a stranger to get it up and off the road, funny enough it started back up after a few more minutes but wouldn't do shit before then.
