Since I changed jobs around two months ago, I walk to work and take a bus around town. Before that, I was putting 74 miles a week on the car.

I drive the car maybe once every two or three weeks ( around a mile ) just to keep it from falling apart.

I'm guessing this is one of the contributing factors that led to the failure. ( The car just sitting. )
