I'll start things off.

I had a 14-year-old white 1990 Ford Tempo ([example]( with over 200,000 miles for my first car.  The engine overheated all the time so I had to run the heater full blast to keep it from dying.

One time while on a two-lane road, I was behind a car that had been going 10mph under the speed limit for well over a mile with a long line of cars behind us.  The people behind me are riding my bumper so I feel like I should probably attempt to pass the slow one at the next passing area.  The time comes and I pull up beside him while overtaking at about 5 over the speed limit and he decides this would be a fantastic time to accelerate back up to speed.  Now I'm stranded in the passing lane because my car can't accelerate much more and the gap I left in the line had been filled in by the person behind me.  What's worse, my car then proceeds to whine and sputter from overheating and there are cars now coming towards me from the other lane.  The car finally just gives up and dies in the middle of the oncoming traffic lane and I've caused a back-up in both lanes.

I get out of the car and begin to push it towards the shoulder, everyone stopped and staring daggers at me.  The shame was unbearable and what was really about a minute pushing the car felt like an eternity.

I got back in the car, pulled my hood over my head and looked away from everyone slowly passing me.

I accelerated and squealed my way through traffic, caused a back up and a road rage incident.
