Thread: What emergency stuff do you carry?

Tweet

Looks like a good list. Add some zip ties in various sizes, others have already suggested the AAA card and can of "flat tire". I also carry one of those little air compressors that plug into a cigarette lighter. Or a jump box, some of those have the compressor too, but it does not look like you have room for that. Jumper cables might be good though. One more thing, a spare key!

How about a pair of stubbie screw drivers? I have a very small slime tire kit, made for motorcycle riders. Harbor freight sells them. It has a small 12volt air compressor and a bottle of tire slime plug repair. Also maybe a pair of jumper cables, you could make your son wear these as jewelry. I thought you Guy's decided not to go, what changed your minds?
It wouldn't hurt to have some security device and maybe a breaker bar. A laser pointer from the safey of the hotel room would unnerve most thieves when it shows up on their forhead in the middle of the night! Have fun and take a lot of pictures!

Well, as usual, I went off half cocked and later changed my mind. I was trying to get an answer about being able to transfer a registration I wanted to buy from another member and wasn't getting any answers. Come to find out I was asking the wrong people, the local club is only hosting the event, the decision makers are at Billetproof.com. I spoke to Alan at BP the other day and he could not have been nicer and is taking care of the re-registration for me.

Plus, when I proposed to Dan that he and I go to Daytona instead he flatly refused. He filled me in on what kind of cars will be at BP (the kind we like, oldtimey stuff) so that cinched the deal. It is also a shorter drive by about 2 hours each way.

If you remember the character "Roseanne Roseannadanna" that Gilda Radner played on Saturday Night Live, she would go into this rant about something and then when Jane Curtain would correct her she would say "Oh!! Nevermind!!" That is kinda me........I blow up about something and rant for a little bit, then when I cool off I realize I was wrong.

So, "nevermind!!"

It depends -

Family car/truck - not a lot since so much now needs a special tool - jumpers, pair of pliers, small crescent, couple of screwdrivers, flat fix in a can. My truck does get one special tool though - a nice l-o-o-n-n-g breaker bar and impact socket to remove and reinstall those 8 lugs per wheel at 150 foot pounds

Rod - it gets a minor tool kit, possibly only enough to do a 9" diff change out, valve job or bearings

Jane you ignorant slut!.........
What good times those were on Saturday Night Live!
Glad to hear it all worked out well. Take a bunch of photos!
