    I was driving a mechanic (maybe a prius mechanic) home from the bar one night. He is from a group of people in my area that are especially cheap. About two thirds of the way home the car just quit I had to get it towed. I reset it later and that problem has not occured again. Is it possible he had some kind of device that sent out a signal that interfered with the car’s electrical system and shut my car down ?As I said he was of a group of ruthlessly cheap people and I would not be surprised if he did this to get out of paying the fare. (He walked the rest of the way home) I know this seems a little far fetched but I have my suspisions because this problem has not recured in in 1.5
    years and these people will do almost anything to pay less
