All of the above are great ideas... With "Murphy being an optimist" rest
assured that whatever you bring you will most likely need the thing you've
left at home;) That being said I usually travel with an old set of points
that are still good, a fan belt, hoses... Brake fluid, a pastic jug for
water my traveling tool kit (which includes a wire stripper spare wire and
spade connectors... and My AAA card.
Of all of the above, I recommend the cell phone and AAA card. If you go for
AAA+ membership you get 125 miles of free towing which will get you home in
most cases...
