Decided to drive the new 74 to Auburn today, didn't make it home died on interstate 80 just passed Sierra college blvd. Smart guy that I am didn't bring any tools or even a flashlight, so I'm standing here waiting for AAA to tow it home.
Hope everyone else is having a better day Jeff |

I am not sure if their is a topic of a EMERGENCY KIT / Must HAVE'S FOR A ROAD TRIP.
Perhaps we can start one. I keep a spare relay and fuse on my relay board labeled "spare" so as to not pull the wrong ones. That and yes a flash light in the glove box is a good start. I like the Tool bag Idea. I think that I will put one in my front trunk by the spare. I have a 1.8 ltr and would add a double relay too. Good Luck! |
