Cutlass

This car has had all of its scheduled maintenance performed at the dealership. During the first year that I owned the car, a) the cruise control stopped working and the cable from the cruise control power unit to the throttle body had to be replaced, and B) the carpet started balding in an area where there normally isn't any contact with my feet. During the past few months, a) the generator died leaving me stranded at a 24-lane toll plaza on the New Jersey turnpike, and B) the positive battery terminal pulled out of the battery, draining the battery acid and leaving me with a dead car and a shopping cart full of groceries.
