That's like saying that sometimes you need a car that doesn't brake so

In the past few months, I lost functionality of my 1950 Plymouth due to
the rear brake cylinder going out.  The car quickly rolled back down a
hill into the garage.  That garage door took a few days to fix, and now
the poor car is sitting in the garage with the driver's door bent
backwards.

I had my Fiat 124 Sports Coupe roll down the street at my parent's
house. I forgot to set the parking brake and stick it in first gear. It
went about 300 feet, without hitting any parked cars and stopped less
than a foot from hitting a brick wall. It was a beautiful wall that had
just been painted. The Fiat would have hit the wall on the sharp edge of
the corner. Luck was sure with me that day. Maybe it was Jesus that
stopped the car.
