Lucky for us we had a friend who lived an hour away and was able to drive us home.
But I've never had a car refuse to start on me and leave me stranded other than that once.

For the most part this car has been great. It is older (1996) and ugly (2 years ago a carport collapsed on it and did enough damage to total it out so I bought it back from the insurance company for $180), but it runs great and has low mileage. I only drive it in the winter. The first of June I get the mustang out of storage and drive it through the summer.
Hopefully this wasn't a warning sign that the car is about to enter that phase where it wants to nickle and dime me to death.
