frankly, kinda agree with the OP regards street/ strip car.
I have a nice car I don’t want to mess up getting stranded with it. Sure wouldn’t want to leave it.
If I have a flat on the rear I am screwed, really, same on the front. I don’t carry a spare. Don’t carry a Floor Jack in the car either
I don’t want to get any further away from where I keep the car than what a reasonable tow truck bill would be if something like a flat( or other) happens.
Hardly anything on my car is available at a parts store if something happens. Most aren’t going to have an electric fuel pump like mine, a spark box like mine, Yada, Yada. Later at night, even they are closed.
I weigh the risk reward every time I street drive, even more than at the track.
Deer, unseen pot hole, nail, idiot not paying attention, rain popping up out of nowhere……. You name it. I have a feeling lots of people don’t consider some of these things much
