Distance = Rate x 3rd Time is a charm?

After a going-away party, a green Subaru traveling 70mph leaves California heading toward Washington, DC, 2,787 miles away. One hour into the Subaru's travel, the radiator gauge acts up. The car returns to departed city.
After a new bye-bye party, a green Subaru traveling 75mph leaves the Cali town toward DC & again experiences the same car issue. Car & driver return, again.
Finally, after yet another go-away party, the green Subaru (which never acted up when in DC) will leave CA traveling 77 mph on Saturday.

Expected Arrival = Yes.

A Newz of tha Wierd Classic (October 1999)
From a May 1999 police report in The Messenger (Madisonville, Ky.), concerning two trucks being driven curiously on a rural road:
A man would drive a truck 100 yards, stop, walk back to a second truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the first truck, stop, walk back to the first truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the second truck, and so on, into the evening. He did it, he told police, because his brother was passed out drunk in one of the trucks, and he was trying to drive both trucks home, at more or less the same time. (Not surprisingly, a blood-alcohol test showed the driver, also, to be impaired.)
