Advantages of a Haunted Car

There are some advantages to having a haunted car.
   Yesterday I had a bit of trouble starting Christine as I left karate. I wasn't too concerned but on the way home as I was going up a very steep hill, the car suddenly stalled. Not panicking I pushed in the clutch and tried to restart. Electrical seemed fine but clearly no fuel was getting through. The car began to slow and I realized it was going to stop in a bad place. On coming cars would not be able to see me stalled in the road the other side of the crest of the hill but the cars coming up behind me would not be able to see over the crest to the on coming cars if they tried to pass me. I moaned out loud, "Oh no, Christine. We're going to get hit if we stop here." Ever so slightly I felt her pick up a bit of speed (going up hill!) and she continued to roll till we crested the hill and moved away from the danger spot until we were visible to both lanes of traffic. I pulled off as far as I could as we came to a stop and thanked Christine for getting us up that hill.
   I called Ron and he suggested calling a tow truck but I didn't have enough money to do that, so Ron said he would come. It turns out there was a garage specializing in import cars just 200 yards from where we stopped. Ron stopped behind me and a moment later a state trooper pulled up behind us. Ron told him that he was going to try to push my car with his and the trooper put on his lights to escort us safely to the garage. Made it! The trooper laughed at us before he left saying it was a pretty good way to save a $100 tow bill.
At the garage I left Christine, but I warned the woman at the desk that Christine was a haunted car. She might lock and unlock her doors at will and there was only the one key. I also warned of moving mirrors. Without missing a beat the woman assured me that it would be no problem. They had dealt with possessed cars before.  At least I know Christine is in good hands!
   They have examined her and found the cause of the problem (the original 13 year old fuel filter!!! and burnt out glow plugs.) I am waiting for the call that she is fixed. I hope she will be pleased when she gets home. I'll let you know what happens.
