   My car broke down.

Hear the storyline. Kevin didn't show up for class because his car broke down....
Burt: Why didn't you show up for class this morning?
Kevin: I don't even want to talk about it.  My car broke down.
Burt: What happened?
Kevin: The engine seems to be busted.  It's driving me crazy!
Burt: Wow.  Have you thought about getting a new car?
Kevin: Yeah, I've thought about that, but I can't afford a new car.  I'm broke.
Burt: Maybe you can lease a car.  It doesn't cost much.  I know Toyota is running a promotion.
Kevin: Really?  How much is it?
Burt: Zero down and $219 per month.
Kevin: That's a good deal.  I might wanna consider it.
