Mischa Barton’s car has broken down again, leaving the actress stranded for the third time in six months. The O.C. star’s beloved bright blue Cadillac suffered engine problems on Monday (November 22) as she drove through Los Angeles. The car ground to a halt in the middle of the city’s busy Robertson Boulevard, but she was able to steer the unreliable vehicle to a nearby garage in Beverly Hills. Barton left the car with mechanics and walked to her destination. She bought the car in February for $15,000 (£10,000) and the vehicle suffered two major breakdowns over the summer.
