Two stories:

1: It was a little before I sold my '69 C10, I had just had a guy put a new motor in for me. I drove to college that morning, noticed the battery wasn't charging, in fact the alt wasn't working at all. It was rainy out, but I didn't dare use the defrost should the battery die, so the windows were down the whole way. Made it down to class 35 miles and back 30, before the truck died about 5 miles from home. Turns out the voltage reg. went bad. Got that replaced, and 2 weeks later I get stranded again after all the electric goes into meltdown mode, victim of a bad ground.

2. Was coming home late one night from my fiance's I was about 20 min past curfew. So I was booking it in my '68 Dart. I take this little mountain road to save some time, hit the S-turns, and all of a sudden my brakes go out. OH CRAP! I get myself slowed down with some fancy use of the e-brake, and finally make it home. Turns out a brake line had burst.
