Re: [DML] Spare parts was Car alarm/remote starter.

[Bryan Pearce <bryanp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This discussion brings up a good point.

With only a couple of months before DCS 2008, I expect that many  
people will be putting several hundred miles on their cars.

Maybe everyone could share with the list what they keep in the car  
for spare parts.  I'm not looking to start a discussion about proper  
maintenance/inspection and the need for any spare parts.  Everyone  
knows that no matter how well you check out your car, sometimes  
things are missed or just fail.

So for those that do intend to drive hundreds of miles, what do you  
keep in your emergency parts kits?
