Yeah, I always start to get real nervous any time my car seems to run well for a month or more. I tend to keep my car sort of in a perpetual state of repair, by doing small modifications and add-ons. That way, I figure the car won't have an excuse to go and break something expensive. It's as if the car has an innate biological need for some time spent up on jack stands, and if you don't provide that mandatory "air-time" for the car periodically, it will break something just to get it.

People that I know (read: not hang out with all the time) always say to me "Whenever I drive by your house, you're always fixing your car!" I get tired of explaning "No, I wasn't fixing it, I was making it better."

Man I hate it for ya!!!

You could always go put some bad gas in it, or forget to keep the oil topped up, or something like that... then you wouldn't feel so left out of your car's life
