#3 Left my F150 parked all winter outdoors without once starting it. Just kept the battery trickle-charged. Started right up -- with a loud screech. Then an explosion under the hood with brown smoke. Turned out the bearing on the alternator had gotten very sticky due to corrosion, while the serpentine belt was yanked along by other pulleys until it blew up. Cured this ailment with WD-40, a wrench, and of course a new serpentine belt. Got off easy on that one.
