This one springs to mind: Cowboys and Babies (http://archiveofourown.org/works/81811?view_adult=true) Jared's ancient Taurus dies not in a blaze of glory but with a pathetic wheeze and a tiny shudder by the side of the road miles and miles away from any kind of civilization. He puts his head down on the steering wheel and inhales shakily, talking himself out of crying. He knows it's just the hormones but combined with everything that had gone down with Chad days earlier and not having anywhere to go but back to his momma and dad who were not happy about his decision to keep the baby, husband or no, it's just all too much to take.
So when the car dies, Jared feels like curling up by the side of the road and joining it.
