Of course wouldn't restart so I had to push 2 tons of American steel out of the intersection solo with -60F windchill than walk a few blocks to a nearby friend's house. That was an interesting trip in many ways including that the shocks were effectively rigid: the oil was too cold to flow they were locked. Felt like a ride in a hay trailer.

Ouch. That's miserable. I think even with the WI breakdowns my most memorable was in Los Angeles. I was on a date in my '69 Nova SS and it broke down. The girlfriend ended up helping me push it through an intersection until it started rolling downhill. Cut to a beatup muscle car rolling down the hill
dragging a woman in a velvet dress and heels. It was a memorable night.
