Look at this poor worn out cable. It still works. It still works without interruption. It doesn't turn off when I make a (hard) turn, brake hard unexpectedly, go full throttle, or ignore speed bumps. It doesn't even turn off when I pick up the phone and use it. I intentionally abused this cable during use. He tugged and twisted it like no cable deserves and he just said thank you and carried on. Look at the photos again. If that doesn't convince you that the $3 a cable is worth it, you can't be happy and I feel sorry for everyone who interacts with you.
