    Don't you just hate it when a "new" car gives you problems?
    You sound very blessed to have a live-in mechanic, good friends, and free towing. And your son placed THIRD which means you have quite an athlete in the family.

    Wow! how fortunate that it broke down on the way home!

    back in the day that I was driving beater cars, whenever i went on a long trip,
    i would take my car to a mechanic and tell him what my plans were. He'd look the car over, tune it, and give me a clean bill of health for the car and a big zap of confidence before I left.
    Of course, sometimes it broke down anyway; but never for the routine stuff.

    I hope it was just a fuel filter.
