my licp popped off on me on the way to work. i stopped on the left shoulder of the freeway. i jacked up my car on the right side, went towards the front of my car and went under it and reinstalled my licp. i lowered the jack down, put it back in my trunk and i opened my door to get into my car. as i was getting into my car a jeep side swipes me. messes up my right mirror, right fender, and right front wheel. he stops about 200 feet away. we start walking towards each other, but then he throws his hands up in the air, turns around, gets back into his jeep and drives away. i run back into my car to give chase, but my licp pops off again. FML. it's only afterwards that i realize that if i was lowering my car off the jack 5 minutes later than when i did, i probably would've gotten killed.
Damn thats crazy
Only once has my Blue lady left me on stuck. I was on my way to see my tuner in KC to get my recently installed clutch checked out and poof 
All the grinding and chatter noise stopped and so did the car, on the side of I-10 right outside of Topeka. I should have known that Tilton was a bad look 
oh well. I had them replace that with an Exedy Twin and not a day of trouble since... until the slave cylinder went bad... but that was a much easier fix

Mitsubishi's have always been good to me. My 1987 Galant I had years ago never missed a beat until 193,000 miles. The ECT sensor went out and at the time I didn't know how to diagnose cars, so I donated it. Evo is 100% stock and has never even come close to stranding me. Its had 1 warranty issue that the dealer took care of no questions asked. Great car, enjoy it every time I drive it.

Only had to wait 45min for another person to jump me at 2am!
Blew off my LICP had to pull over and call my wife to bring me a jack and tools. Replaced all of the clamps with t-bolts and that one never blew again. My upper started popping off at that point at the throttlebody, got pissed after it popped off 3 times at an auto-x since i had to forefit those 3 runs, and then the last time it popped off on my way home from work when I was going to install its replacement lol. Thankfully that time I was not far from home and I managed to pull into a residential area and wait for my wife so I could go get the socket and ratchet I had just that morning removed from the car.
Replaced the UICP and I have not had it do that again, knock on wood.
