My car just died in the middle of a busy intersection

Last time I had a car die at an intersection, I had to hurriedly explain to my friend in the passenger seat to pick up the ECM which was laying on the floor and unplug the tuner chip installed on the back.

 

He was quickly successful, the car restarted and I left a nasty smoky burnout rolling through second gear.

Yeah, that sucks.  It almost happened to me a few years ago when my alternator died while I was driving, ironically, to my garage to get it fixed.  I say "almost" bc it did die in a busy intersection but I was able to coast to the side of the nearest back road.  I called my brother to get a temporary jump start and luckily made it straight to the mechanic.
