Why does it qll go wrong at the same time?

Is it me? or do things always go wrong at the same time? My camaro (ye ye i kno its not classic) the cable linking the shifter to the arm on the tranny is shot so won't engage gears hence won't move! the gearbox sumps leaking so need a new gasket, the power steering pump (i think) is leaking too. It needs rear brake pads (wear n tear so i'll let that one go) and may need new window motor too! and I may replace the drive belt why? why? why? Suddenly I have a massive shopping list and a cold sweat to deal with!

Yeah i know what you mean, suddenly things started going wrong on my T4 and now i have a list as long as my arm... it's still just about hobbling along though
