Totally agree! When we evac'd Rita, we had TWO blowouts. Fix-a-flat and one spare did not help. Ideally, we'd had brought a full-size spare, the tiny spare, and Fix-a-flat (just in case of a small leak).
ReplyDeleteAnd, our clutch got stuck too. Didn't have the red straw/stick thingee that comes with WD-40, so DH couldn't get the spray into the area that needed it. He had me tie his foot onto the clutch pedal so he could get to a store to buy another WD-40 just for the stick. It's attached with a rubber band now (the stick, not the clutch ROFL).

ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough backups...
It may seem like overkill until something gets lost, misplaced or breaks.
Thanks Bob III.
