Something you've done that you now find unthinkable

[dogdrool]

I drove an old POS Honda Accord on a roadtrip across the country and back. While driving through the open roads of the mountains and the desert I would drive for hundreds of miles on end with the car flat-floored. Its limiter would cut in at 112, but if you were going down hill you could get it up to 115 or 116 sometimes.

This caused the temp gauge to climb rapidly, so we turned the heat on full blast, which kept the heat under control (all windows down in the car to save us).

I never really thought "what if a tire blows" or "what if the engine blows" when we're hundreds of miles from a service station.
