"Vintage or not, cars always seem to pick the worst possible place to break down..."

Ha, isn't that the truth? Cars must have some secret sixth sense for maximum inconvenience. Reminds me of when my battery died at a client's driveway—talk about awkward timing...

Haha, cars definitely have a knack for timing breakdowns perfectly. Last summer, mine decided to overheat right in the middle of nowhere—no cell service, just cows staring at me judgmentally while I waited for it to cool down... classic road trip moment.

Haha, been there myself—nothing like a herd of cows silently judging your mechanical skills. Honestly, carrying a basic toolkit and extra coolant has saved me more than once. Vintage cars seem to sense when you're least prepared...

Couldn't agree more about the toolkit—saved my trip plenty of times. But honestly, preventive maintenance is key. Checking belts, hoses, and fuel lines before hitting the road makes a huge difference. Vintage cars don't just sense unpreparedness...they thrive on it.

Haha, totally feel you on vintage cars sensing fear...mine definitely does. Ever had your car act perfectly fine at home, then suddenly decide it hates hills halfway through a mountain drive? Happened to me last summer. Toolkit was handy, sure, but could preventive maintenance have predicted that weird carburetor tantrum? Doubtful. Still, you're right—checking hoses and belts beforehand at least makes the surprises fewer and farther between...mostly.
