Pretty sure, but my wife asked a similar question, so maybe I am prone to doing this?

Some ****** ran into the back of the patrol today... not their fault, the person behind them. 3 way rear end with me being the receiver..
Totally buckled my homemade rear bar.. hopefully insurance will replace it but that's not the point. All that work for some inconsiderate **** to run into it. I didn't even get to bash it properly in the bush.
Angry words!
Wife's bloody POS Mazda 6 makes me angry.
Had to jump start her car last thursday night, strange as the battery is less than 12 months old. Get it home, turn the car off, go to start it nothing. Put my charger on it and instantly I can start the car. Ok the battery has dropped a cell maybe, get a new battery, nothing. I check all the earth points with my ratchet all tight. I start changing over relays. Nothing. Then Catherine noticed sparks from near the battery when i tried to start it again. One of the earth connection was lose under the bolt head. I remove it, clean up the thread, new bolt and clean the earth strap connection and bang it starts. Yee haa!!!
I get a call this morning, car is dead again. Ugh!!!
Its used 2.5ltrs of oil too in under 5k so its time for a trade in. Just need it to hold out for atleast another six months if we can though. Not quite ready to get a new car right now,
Most likely the open circuit has damaged the alternator regulator (or circuit in the ECU if that is the case).
What grade of oil are you running?
The Maxima started to miss and the Engine Light came on.
After investigation by my Garage it was ascertained that the Ignition Coil on Cylinder 2 was faulty.
Decided to replace Ignition Coils on all Cylinders and replace new Spark Plugs and Rocker Cover gaskets.
Parts came to $1,428 and Labour $340
Total of $1,768
Could of got away with one Ignition Coil but decided to replace on all 6 Cylinders.
No Pub for the next couple of months LOL
Just sad. Covered in blood, tears in my eyes. Waiting for the ranger to take a pair of beautiful dogs away. I had to drag them off next doors sheep. They are so friendly.
Sad situation, dogs (working or not) just have to be under control not roaming. Couple of dogs next door causing havoc, one herding and second does the hit (not good). Have Kelpies and always aware of their where abouts and even they have made a runner when younger, grateful no untoward incident.
