One day he was driving and he saw a HUGE black cloud in the rear-view mirror. Kept swearing at the local yokels who never tune up their cars until he realised (sheepishly) that he was the yokel. Nothing untoward happened to the car; didn't even blow seals. But then this car has been through a couple of accidents; it seems to be built like a tank.
