Can a car fix itself? TELL YOUR STORY!

Well, my 70 Super Bee definately had a personality.
I called it the millenium falcon, because it was fast as hell, but often didn't "hold tegether" very well. Usually minor stuff that would allow a field repair, or a limp home.
It also didn't like it when I had a female in the car with me, and it could tell the differnce between platonic ones and those that were competing for my attention.
It had been running fairly well one night, until I picked up my date. At the first stop light after she got in, the instument cluster caught fire.
