Automotive innocence

Interesting topic. I've found for me I did things when I was younger I would never do now out of worry. When I used to street race my Duster I'd drive all over to different race spots, out of town to different counties without a thought, usually out in the middle of nowhere. Rear tires with tubes and no spare ever! Just a tool box in the trunk. Run the car hard on a few races, and drive back. Yes, I built the car and knew if something was off a tiny bit but didn't obsess or even worry that something would happen! So much could have gone wrong but rarely did. So my take is youth gives you bliss you don't realize at the time. Hell I wont set foot out of town in my daily now without jumper cables, spare belt and tire plug kit!
