Near the end, I drove around with a case of motor oil in the car, I had to put a new bottle in about every week. As I was crossing the 520 bridge across Lake Washington (one of the floating bridges) one day, my tailpipe fell off, and it sat on the median for months. I always felt guilty about my car having littered, but I couldn't exactly get out and pick it up. Finally (on my birthday!), radiator fluid started pouring out all over the driver's side inside the cab, right where my feet were. I called it a day, and bought the car I have now that weekend.
