Every time I do my own repair I fear I forgot to tighten something, fill something, etc.

The radiators. When I was a kid, my dad cracked open the radiator cap on a hot engine to let it vent before he proceeded. As soon as it was opened just a slight bit, it blew the cap off and showered his entire arm with hot coolant. I can still smell the odor of burning flesh and remember seeing the flesh hanging off…

Needing to get somewhere important or being a long way from home and have my car breakdown.

Winch cables snapping

Running out of gas has always been a phobia of mine. I’ve gotten better over the years, I used to immediately fill as soon as I hit 1/4 tank and now I can wait longer, but I still watch it like a friggen hawk.

I have an irrational vision everytime I’m unplugging airbags that’s it’s going to go off in my face and shrapnel right through my eye.

Run-flat tires... Just imagine yourself in the middle of the nowhere with no spare tire.
