I had a 1983 Plymouth Horizon (Mitsubishi). It was a great car. I had
bought a cell phone basically for road emergencies. One day the timing
belt broke and I was just able to pull to the curb. Just as I reach for
the cellphone I realize I'm parked across the street from "Mechanic's
Row." Two different shop employees ran over and pushed it onto a repair
lot I chose.

Either my car had a heart of gold or my cell phone hated being used.
