I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a major intersection, and the right drive shaft of my 2007 Honda Fit broke. I was accelerating at a low speed to pull out into the intersection. I had to have my car towed off to a repair shop, which was closed for the day since it was after 5pm when this happened. This was a major inconvenience, and thankfully I could get a ride home and a rental the next day. The other drive shaft was just as bad, and the total repair cost was around $600.
