Did you realize that jump-starting a car creates panic in the minds of many people?
Although more women than men seem to develop some major anxiety issues when they realize that they need to get those jumper cables, the guys sometimes show a little hesitation as well.
You can’t really blame people for a brief moment of jittery apprehension, because if the truth is to be told, there is a very small chance that a fire or an explosion could occur. Note that the important key phrase being used is “small chance.”

The Net is sometimes called the Web Of A Thousand Lies, and not without reason.
Just because it’s on the Internet, it doesn’t make it true. And nowhere is this more true than when looking at "Miraculous Systems That Will Run Your Car Off Of Water."

Convertibles still have security issues – parking them with the top down is an invitation to have problems in a lot of urban areas. But advances in engineering have made them much more practical all weather cars than they used to be in the past.
