In the past few months, I lost functionality of my 1950 Plymouth due to
the rear brake cylinder going out.  The car quickly rolled back down a
hill into the garage.  That garage door took a few days to fix, and now
the poor car is sitting in the garage with the driver's door bent
backwards.

I had my Fiat 124 Sports Coupe roll down the street at my parent's
house. I forgot to set the parking brake and stick it in first gear. It
went about 300 feet, without hitting any parked cars and stopped less
than a foot from hitting a brick wall. It was a beautiful wall that had
just been painted. The Fiat would have hit the wall on the sharp edge of
the corner. Luck was sure with me that day. Maybe it was Jesus that
stopped the car.

A month ago, my car's front axle has been worked on it because it was
leaking a bit of oil. I had already driven 100 kms with the car on
rural roads after the repair and then took it onto our own property. I
was manoeuvering it between trees when I heard a loud pop. I lost all
steering. I was almost standing still. Had it happened on the road, I
could have been dead. Turns out they forgot to secure a split pen.

Really? I think it might have been Lucifer that saved your ass.
