I think my sons Dart is mad at him. You ever feel this way about your vehicles?

My son has a 70 Dart that's his daily, school, work etc. It has a smooth running slant six. The car has given us very little trouble. About 10 days ago a lady backed into the front end, damaging the bumper and lower valance. Since then it seems the car has been vengeful! Monday, I broke a wheel stud pulling the wheel. Tuesday, he's coming home from school and the old alternator belt broke. Wednesday we joked because nothing happened. Thursday,(today) he's leaving home for school and the car wont stay running. He calls me and I go by. Get in and it starts and runs fine. He asks me "Why is this all happening to me?" I tell him don't you know when your down that's when they kick you! Share your experiences.
