You're so sweet, I'm blushing.
Just from experience and as another young dude, man you just can't comprehend the risk until you experience it. When you're 45 degrees up facing the sky in the drivers seat thanking God you actually stopped before rolling, you start to think. Mostly about where the fuck the road dropped away to, and learn the lesson of never pull over onto tall grass or reeds to take a leak, never know what's under it.
God that thing with my bro scares me. Only thing that saved them from more damage was the horizontally mounted spare wheel in the front (our first Volkswagen, Roxanne. Pics somewhere), it was crushed in but you know strong those things are with an inflated tire too. Mine is vertical, if I'm in a crash in that thing, don't bother asking about me. Man I got plenty of scary driving stories. One time I got chased by some blokes in an rx8, obviously faster than the fox with my two obese mates in it. Was funny at first, then I realised they really were trying to force me off the road, leaning out their window trying to grab the steering wheel, scary times. Can't outrun a rotary, buy no rx8 can drive over a gutter and through a footy oval onto a main Rd. Number plate was DRIFT, too. Spinning out on a windy downhill road (old Bathurst road for anyone that used to ride there). Told work I was over tired and shouldn't be driving, I got forced to, couldn't afford to lose job, had been working a different job from 6am to 5pm, then this job 5.30 till 11. Didn't brake, suddenly grabbed to much steering and spun, called work and went home straight after. Lucky nobody was there.
None of that is racing related, but yeah cars are fucking deadly.
And yeah, wiring. I hate it. With a passion. Just put down a ~ $400 order for parts tonight, spent $150 today and $200 on a battery a few days ago. Plus all the stuff from supercheap, fuck it's been an expensive car week. But from all that money, all I've got to show so far is a working interior light...
