Side of the Road Repairs

[rick3000]

My Boxster is always packing:

-AAA Card
-Cell Phone & Charger
-Crank Powered Flashlight
-Gloves
-Torque Wrench
-Lug Wrench (left in the bottom of the frunk)
-12V Air Pump
-Jumper Cables
-Flares & First Aid Kit
-Spare Fuses
-Basic Tools (pliers, screwdriver, crescent wrench, leatherman, big knife, etc)

If I had a major mechanical problem, or anything requiring access to the engine I would need a tow, because you can't exactly remove a hardtop by yourself. So I am mostly concerned with tire issues. Luckily, I have only ever had to use the air pump for a mildly quick leak to get to the nearest tire shop.

Progressive has 15-mile towing with their insurance for $16 a year. 12 years of driving and just 1 tow needed (and I completely forgot about using my insurance roadside, grrr) - can't really justify the cost of AAA. Cheaper just to pay for a tow yourself if not through insurance!
