Pop Quiz: the Help Make Good Life Decisions thread

[Over The Post]

Sometimes you find yourself unable to make up your mind on a specific issue. You've done a list of pros and cons and there is an equal number on each side. You've tossed a coin and it's landed on its edge. You rolled a dice and it vanished under the couch. You genuinely have no idea what to do and would value some input to get past the block.

THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is your thread.

But lets not have too narrow a focus; the gamut should also include decisions that need to be made by other people, and indeed those that were made by other people but could have been improved at the time by helpful suggestions.

I have no such dilemmas myself right now, so will kick proceedings off with an example.

Situation: You are driving down the road with a tandoori oven full of hot coals in the back of your car. It starts to billow smoke.
Pop Quiz: Do you a) put the AC on high, wind the windows down and pull over, or b) speed up, swerve in and out of traffic, and drive into a building?

Remember you are here to offer good advice, perhaps you have experienced the same situation. No hypotheticals, no what-ifs, please keep the questions and answers firmly grounded in reality.

Actual decision taken above:

The flipside to that is that there are plenty of youtube videos showing how to do it in three days or less, and it gives a good excuse to add many thousands of bucks worth of special tools to the garage/mancave.

Allegedly, it is rumoured that the Audi looks cooler but the Golf handles better. Does looking cool to you matter? Do you care if every time you blip the accelerator everyone in earshot will mutter "Audi w***er"?
