I'm using a little old Dodge Neon. It works well, especially considering it has almost 117,500 miles on it. Every now and then, however, it throws something completely surprising at me. For example, when I turn on the air, it will occasionally shoot bugs out of the vents. Yes, bugs. Or rather bug parts. Wings, bodies, heads, they've all come out of the air vents, which is why I direct the airflow around myself and not directly at me. Being covered in bug bodies during the first barrage was enough for me, thanks.
The latest and greatest surprise came when I was driving down the highway today. Everything was going fine and then suddenly the speedometer dropped to 0 and the odometer stopped working. I managed to make it into the clinic without getting pulled over for speeding or having someone rage at me for driving too slow, but it was a rather worrisome experience. Coming back everything worked just fine, but having random parts of the car just give out like that doesn't give me the peace of mind I'm used to. My assumption is that a sensor is on the fritz and I'm going to have it checked out soon.
