A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

that is a good idea!  thanks!
well thats depressing. 
If I've just gave you a good idea, then its all down-hill from here,  :(
I may as well quit posting. 
I thought of you today, steve.  I sent the mail to my parents that are vacationing in Port Arkansas, TX.  Dad said the temperature was in the 70's today. 
I was wishing I was with him.  They bought a RV 3 years ago and they go south for a couple months during the winter, and I watch their place while their gone.
next week they are headed for Florida for about a month before they head back home
When I'm in Rome, they do as I do

Sorry for the dumb question.
whats the difference (besides the price) between that super expensive ground strap and a regular shielded wire equal in capacity??     
Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.

By shielded you mean insulated?

Flexibility primarily and inductance to a lesser extent.
Braid has way less inductance (resistance) at higher frequencies or transients.

Practically I would expect not much difference if the mechanical aspects are addressed.

Probably nothing.  Most things on our cars don't pull a lot of amps and nothing extremely fancy is needed.  I generally buy standard small ground straps at Napa or wherever I see them

Nah, I'd let you run, then chase you down and use my bare hands to finish you off; much more sporting.

(Just kidding... don't need the RCMP showing up here, that and I hate running)
