Yup, I like the explosions, even if 3 of my roughly 8 deaths have been caused by them.
Buuuut.. I think maybe the cars go boom too quickly...
There I was, sneaking through the city somewhere, can't remember where, doesn't matter anyway.
I was approaching an area that I fully expected to be crawling with raiders, so I was being ultra careful, crouch-walking, moving really slowly, 'Old Snipey' at the ready.
Mistake number one - I was crawling around a car using it as cover.
Mistake number two - I wasn't watching the ground.
Click! Buzzzzz - the unmistakable sound of a frag mine getting ready to blow.
I panicked, turned around and proceeded like an idiot to crawl away, as if that would help.
BOOM! Frag mine goes off and cripples me.
Car starts to burn...
Oh crap! Time to get the hell outta here, now totally bricking it in panic.
But, like I said I'm a total idiot, so now I'm crouching, crawling and crippled, desperately pressing keys to try and uncrouch, switch to run and simultaneously stab myself with a stimpack.
Too many tasks for my wee brain to handle at the same time, so I did none of them successfully.
BOOM! Car explodes about three inches from my left ear.
I spin majestically through the air, dead as can be.

Sigh.
Burst out laughing.
Quickload.
Now, where was that friggin' frag mine hiding?
