Spoony's right, there are a few people that just would have skipped it thinking it's irrelivant like the first visit to Fort Condor is pretty much irrelivant (and you honestly do not need to visit it till later) and are just in a hurry to get through Clouds Story which picks up in Nibelheim... some people like to play games on their terms, forcing the buggy to break down makes you play it on Squares terms, as you're now trapped and can't even backtrack... and yes it does break down in the PC Version as that is the one i'm playing now and just recently went through that chapter about a week ago, and it broke down on me like it did in the PSone/PSX version... luckily my game did not crash there like so many others claim it does...
