Car Intelligence

Why is it that cars break down when you most need them?

We had just scheduled an appointment to take one of our cars in for repair when the second car decided to misbehave.

It seems to me that cars have an intelligence that allows them to anticipate the schedules of their owners. When the schedule is maxed out, the car decides it's time to throw in an unexpected wrinkle - failure to start, an alarming noise needing immediate attention, or perhaps suddenly spongy brakes.

My dream retirement location will be a "soda fountain town" where everything is either within walking distance or on a bus line.
