In my trunk I keep a bottle jack, portable stands, a well-stocked tool bag and a can of Fix-A-Flat. If that can't get me out of trouble, a fully charged cell phone and my AAA card (along with a huge sigh and look of disappointment on my face) will get me and "the Red Head" home, again.
Ever since I swapped out my crank and rod bearings, I probably look at the
oil pressure gauge more than I do the road!
I just have to keep reminding myself that cars are made to be enjoyed...and they do break occasionally. Just get in and drive Pepe before you're too old to do either.
