I dunno, a triple digit off is pretty exciting even when you keep the car going straight the whole time.

Did not crash, but did have a breakdown that could have been avoided. Check those battery tie-downs if you haven't recently!

Did not crash but did stall x3 and could have crashed since all power would cut…couldn’t figure out why. Turns out I carelessly tapped into wrong fuse (7.5A) for fog lights instead of DRL (10A)… sigh. Least car didn’t blow up. Fog lights out of commission till tomorrow when I get a fuse tap or piggyback. No longer using Mickey Mouse methods of powering stuff carelessly. #lessonlearned




Bonus pics for fun.

We can't all afford to crash spectacularly.

Drove the FRS to the airport using back roads. Did an hour of touch and goes in the plane. Did not crash either, or hit the parachute jumpers....
