    For sure that !!!
    When the paranoia kicks in, its effects my throttle position, thats all...So, im slower than a cr england truck on quaaludes..I think about not having a will set up, who will feed my puppies etc etc...Its a mental issue for sure, not just some incredible safety concern..
    I grew up a speed demon/hotrodder crazy guy...At 50 now, just got gd soft all the sudden...All of the youtube videos dont help either...

    I don't worry about a steer blow out. The guy in that video wrecked because his steer blew out while he was in the back making a pb&j.
