Wow just saw this thread and read through it all. Not sure how I found it. I have 2 things to add :)

A while ago I had a shitty sentra limmited edition, it was a junky car but worked most of the time. I was out with my girl friend driving at arround 2 am after a party in a remote road, the car just suddenly stops in the middle of no where and we had to sit there the whole night. This mexican farmer guy in and old truck helped jump start my car arround 7am when he saw us sitting there.

Just recently I was still learing to drive with AWD in my new STI and I took a very sharp 90 turn on to an on ramp after passing a bunch of people... next thing I know my car is sideways and I over correct throwing my car sideways again with the other side facing... ended up just stalling it with 6 cars behind me, it was great.
