Coincidence?

I think every time I've ever been stranded by a malfunctioning automobile it's been within a week of having the car in the shop for an oil change or tune up. Coincidence? Or the mechanic's equivalent of planned obsolescence?

While we're on the subject, a big shout out to Rafael who works the kitchen at Nothing But Noodles in the Lockfield Commons on Indiana Ave. in Indianapolis and his lifesaving Ford F150's battery! Let's just say that today provided the positive connotation of the following phrase: "a burly Latino man with tatoos and a scar above his left eyebrow jumped me."
