Hell yes.
I've stalled a car out, to the point where I'm sure they've mentioned it on the radio, at least three times. My Probe lost her ignition coil chip a few years back. I boned driving an old manual truck at one summer job and killed the battery at the Glenmore/Mcleod intersection, near the same time. And this winter I blocked up the Deerfoot northbound around Anderson when my Nissan's frigging ECTS died. (Speaking of which, if you go to Pick-a-Part and you see a purple 200sx with an NA SR20 in 'er, give her a whack with a mallet for me.)
"Oh yeah! Plus, armed men are stealing my pop!"
