Good write-up. It would have been a GREAT write-up if WD-40 and Duct tape were mentioned :-)

I would add "Too Much Heat".

Despite the fact that ICE's run on heat, we seem to run into endless problems when there is too much heat in the wrong place or the wrong time. Plus heat produced by brakes and other components. And heat effects suffered by drivers, especially in race cars.
