In case nobody else on the DML was ever in the Boy Scouts: The Boy Scout motto is "Be Prepared." As an Eagle Scout, I prudently prepare for DeLorean contingencies by carrying a spare tire and a small number of mission critical spare components in the cubby. None of these items were prohibitively expensive to buy. They do not require a prohibitive amount of space or weight to carry (the real spare tire does protrude slightly higher from the well cast into the underbody, but that is a concession I am willing to make for its extended utility over a donut spare). I give them the same consideration as a rain poncho or a folding shovel in my back pack when camping.
