Almost.
On FFR4883, I installed first version of I-Squared electrical and was using the big-amp circuit breaker for a secondary kill switch. It wasn't designed for that use and one day at work it just gave up. I didn't know what to do and was ready to call CSAA and got an idea.

I yanked out the battery side cable of the breaker (took a bit of work) and once free, used it with my jumper cable to connect it back to the power/fuse block. used my rags/towels that I also keep around, and wrapped up both ends of my very bulk wiring job so I wouldn't short it on the bare aluminum. I was able to drive it home.

Thats as close as I've come to being stranded.

I've had two flats and used my Mach Pump and two plug kits I always have around to get myself back on the road.

When I set out to build my car, I wanted to build it as if maybe it could be a daily driven car; my first LONG trip as a test, was from my home to Huntington Beach and back; 900+ miles and no problems what so ever. I've put on a total of 7400+ miles. Broke two shocks also but was able to limp home both times.
