The chances of you getting stranded are extremely slim if you drive if it on limited occasions so it's really nothing to think about anyway. If you drive it often, sooner or later you will get "stranded", so if friends are out of touch, you call a flat bed.

Really though, don't think too much in to anything and just enjoy the car. They are simple once you get down to the nuts and bolts of it (and even the wiring). Don't try to do burnouts on roads and don't gas it around turns. If you follow those simple instructions, you can avoid how 99% (made up stat but probably pretty accurate) of the accidents in these cars occur. Congrats on the ride!

Thank you Sir ! Excellent point on the limited use of the car leading to fewer "left me stranded" events. The fact that the car will be used 3-4 times per month does limit the amount of times one could potentially be left stranded.
