From experience, thin steel, (like thinner, worn steel brake drums), can heat, expand, and fail much quicker than thick cast iron.

E.G., try placing a thin steel frying pan on your stove adjacent to a thick cast iron skillet on your stove; then, next, crack & place a raw egg in each.

Turn fire on HIGH on both .... which one solidified faster?

Driver "life" safety is "far" more important than cash in anybody's wallet ..... wealth is renewable & can be replaced ...... lost of life is permanent.

Mr. Randy Gross is one of the best ..... as mentioned on TV .... what's in your wallet?

With a Model A, reply no. 2 recommendation, (all of it), is one of the best ways to avoid future undertaker visits and body shop visits.
