"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Used to have a Fiat Panda. It was a great car - lots went wrong with it mind, but were all very inexpensive to fix. i.e. gear stick broke, boot rusted shut etc...
My brother smoked a lot (and still does) and would often smoke in his car throwing the cigarette out of the window when he was finished.
One day My dad decided to see if he could open the boot. Upon finally opening the boot we discovered lots of old rubbish we had forgotten about. One item caught our eye - a set of Jump leads. - But these weren't any ordinary set of jump leads. These looked like Christmas tree lights. But instead of bulbs they were cigarette butts. The same Cigarette butts my brother had been throwing out of his window had been getting sucked back inside falling down the back of the parcel shelf, and fusing with the rubber coating on the jump leads.
Potential Train Planes and Automobiles incident ....
he made sure the cigarettes were thrown out in future.
