Car's Built In Evilness

[c64]

Hi there.

I'm home at the moment and bought a new car and ended up giving my old shabby scorpio to a friend of me for helping out with my apartment.

That old scorpio had become a little grumpy for not being used and developed a fuel leak next to the fuel filter by itself (one hose broken). Handed over the car today and my chap was working happily with it. It fired up at once the fuel leak was fixed. He let the car idle while he cleaned the inside of it A little later when I came over to help him move it over to the storage area, the fuel pump just died. no fuses broken and all relays double checked - everything came out fine. Checked the power lines to the fuel pump - ok. It just died there and then.

Strange..

Story 2:

My brother had this old peugeot 205 GTI wich he had tried to kill for several years without succeeding. One night I was going to borrow his car and jumped. cranked it a little and it misfired for a couple of revs before it completely died and the starter was just squealing. Guess what? The camshaft belt was broken and was so stuck around the cams that we had to scrap the car.

Anybody have any good stories about the car's built in evilness?

Had an ancient Mercury back in the States. Blew the fuel pump - s*** happens. So, put in another factory fuel pump. DOA. Next one, DOA. Next one, DOA. The fourth one worked. I reckon the other three were made in Detroit on a hard Monday morning
