Hitting a freeway exit ramp too fast and learning the hard way that the left
rear wheel is no longer securely attached to its hub.
Or maybe starting a downhill ramp at 70+ mph and discovering that not only the
foot brake but the hand brake are both ineffective, and there is cross traffic
at the foot of the ramp. Took a long time to regain my composure after that
one!
Lots more stressful than worrying about some scratches in the paint, to me
anyway. Of course, that probably explains why my car has lots of little
scratches and dents :)
