Last year my father came for a visit and we decided to go to Plymouth for the day. We left and shortly after leaving, my compressor died. Okay, we decided to use 4/80 air conditioning. Got all the way to Plymouth, all the way back to Arlington for dinner, and then, *TWO BLOCKS* from my house on the way home, the car died. Turned out that the compressor had died because the serpentine belt was on its way out, and it took all the distance we drove that day for it to snap.
So yeah, freaky car things happen all the time. It's one of the reasons Ashley's name is Ashley (because while the poor thing is old, he's done superb service).
