Have you ever had precognitive dreams or thoughts before this incident? Just curious.
Yes I have.
One that I remember happened a few years ago. I had a dream where I was at a party at a pond in our area. The pond is privately owned so parties don't happen there very often. Anyway, in the dream someone locked their keys in their truck and I said, "Well, you know what they say, 'Like a Rock.'" (the chevy slogan I believe) And one of the guys in the group gave me a weird look and told me that the truck was a Ford. And that's where the dream ended.
About 3 months later that very scenario took place exactly as it had in my dream. And it wasn't until I was told that the truck was a Ford that I remembered about the dream.
At least once a week I'll have some kind of Deja vu experience. But experiences like this one don't happen very often. And sometimes it could be months between the dream and the event like in my above story.

Why would your dad check it every few days? Seems a bit over the top to me. Maybe it WAS on it's last legs.
He checks all of our cars that are road-worthy at least once every few weeks. I think that he was checking it so often to catch any potential problems early. We don't have a lot of money, so any big repairs take a lot out of our pocket.
And I don't doubt that the car was on it's last leg, but it still gave no indication that it would break down when it did. I was on the freeway when it broke down and it was running fine until it suddenly lurched forward and died.

btw how bad is it "crapped out"?lol
Bad enough to be undriveable. I don't think it will even turn on.
