    look if you have a towing insurance plan of some kind all the better. if your distributor blows up, changing it on the road side isn't really that ideal

    i always pack a 9/10/12/13/14mm wrench and some tape and tiestraps and tire plugs in every spare tire compartment of every vehicle i own. usually some jumper clips and a knife too. it's always there. sometimes i can fix my car with it, and sometimes i'm in a jam and i need to take a hostage with the knife/tape/tiestraps.

    with the basic spares always stuffed in the car, just say f*(#5 it and hit the road when you need to go. the failures we have are part of the journey, and if your car dies maybe you'll end up somewhere more interesting than you were planning on going anyway
