1. ruptured oil intercooler line.

2. driveshaft removed itself

3. clutch went out some 500miles away from the base I was stationed at during the time.

4. blew the 100A main fuse

does dead batteries count? how about the accidental running out of gas while thinking I could make it to the gas station?

Only (1) was a tow job.
The others were limp home.

Me personally about twice first time the alt belt snapped. Not exactly a "breakdown" but it did cause me to lose an hour or so replacing the dammed thing.

Second time is my current situation, the engine is blowing too much oil for me to drive the car.

No broken downs yet. Recently the car wouldnt start, but it was bad terminals. Fixed that, and nothing as of now, so Im fixing everything before it breaks. Im capping off the hearter line, getting a new clucth soon, new braided OMP lines, ect... Fix and better the problem before it breaks!
