being towed sucks.... the last time i had to have my oval towed, i got into a fight with the tow truck driver and he left me and my wife and kid on the side of the road. that was after we waited for an hour for him. he got pissed cus he wanted to hook the trailing arm and i wouldnt let him. he told me not to tell him how to do his job. but its my friggin car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) . anyways... a friend brought me a fuel pump and we were able to drive it home.

i have the aaa 100 mile tow also, but that is for catastrophic failures. i was just adding the clutch tube repair kit to my spares and was wondering what other guys carry.

towing is the final option for me. i try to keep my car clean and top shape. most of the time i can slip on my coveralls and have it fixed in minutes....instead of waiting an hour for the tow truck.

hmmmm? a small test light maybe..... or better yet, a cheapy multi meter.
