Sometimes that is just the way it goes...
Too funny.
Years ago I was selling our Jeep Cherokee limited. It was a nice rig but the wife hated it. So a guy was interested and wanted to take it for a test drive. We go to get on the freeway and poof, radiator hose blows apart and we are stuck on the shoulder of the freeway.
I call my wife to bring my truck so we can get things going and guess what? I had both sets of truck keys in my pocket.... DOH!!
After getting ahold of my dad, we get him back home, I get the Jeep back home, new heater hose (aluminum manifold like POS) new anti freeze, get it all cleaned up and the dude called me back and asked if it was still for sale... He bought it.

I guess it was just its way of telling you it didn't want to go, I like to think of it as a last FU...
Glad yours worked out in the end too...
