Yup. I was on my way to visit my mom; when the battery finally went very low about 10 miles from her place at night I was driving on I-81 using others' taillights to navigate the highway. I let it run overnight and went to work late so I could drive it during daylight. Two hour drive with no speedo, turn signals, etc etc... as well as no way to use headlights in the construction zones... oh well
