RE: [DML] What parts should I carry with me? (3 steps to being FULLY prepared)

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a '68 Camaro that I used to drive around to a
lot of local car shows/cruises, etc.  I used to carry
my full tool box, a hydraulic jack, jumper cables,
extra fluids (oil/tranny/antifreeze).  The trunk was a
mess, but I felt "prepared".  You know how many times
I used that stuff?  Zippo.  I finally took out
everything except the jumper cables.  Yeah I was a bit
nervous the first few times out (like operating
without a net), but knock-on-wood, I've never had a
problem.  Now this is all for essentially local
(within 50 miles) distances from home.  For longer
trips, I'd still consider packing some tools/supplies.

As I've been building my D, I found myself falling
back into that "I'd better carry a such-and-such
wrench" mentality, but I'm thinking I'll do my best to
put it together well, address known weaknesses and
leave it at that.  Is it possible that I'll break down
and ruin my day?  Sure.  But I hardly consider
replacing a Delorean fuel pump on the side of the road
in the rain a great day either.

If you want to be FULLY prepared, you only need to do
three things:

1. Add a trailer hitch to your D.
2. Hook a car trailer up to it.
3. Drive your Honda onto the trailer.

Happy motoring!  ;  )
