If you want to participate in stuff that is over 100 miles from home base, and be able to drive there and back ( in any weather ), Your car is going to have to be equipped with more than a cell phone. smile And no matter how much you try to make your car road worthy, a trailer back is almost always mandatory. wave

absolutely correct. at my age and condition, i have a somewhat complete contingency plan thought out. what's funny is, the car [my 33 dodge humpback panel truck] is nowhere near complete. it will be a real pain to drive more than around 100 miles, so i either need many stops, or trailer it to where the destination will be. with that said, i am trying to keep my vision of 40+ years ago alive, and i hope to be able to complete this vision to a somewhat driveable state before i cash in. if my life changes even a little bit in the next year, i hope to be able to continue on this quest, and hope to be able to share a pic or two on the progress.

Sticking with our original plan for my 33, I wanted to carry provisions to fix a flat on the road if necessary. I carry a small bottle jack, lug wrench, inflation bottle with sealer in it, in a little compartment in mt trunk.
