[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3673255, member: 40864"] We've been very fortunate on this front, but it's been rare when we traveled beyond TX and OK. A few times we had to call kinfolk or friends for help. Sis brought me a spare set of keys when I accidently locked mine in the trunk of my '65 Galaxie (I was 17 or 18). Dad brought us a front wheel bearing on the side of the road for the '76 F-250 (I had tools). A friend loaded my torch into our '81 Fairmont wagon when a carrier bearing locked up (again, the '76 F-250) on the side of the road with a load of cattle headed for the Durant livestock sale. Another friend cut & re-attached a heater hose that had blown out near the heater core on a '95 Taurus wagon when Sweetie was headed to Whitesboro, TX. Same car later blew a headgasket, and a stranger put water in it so she could limp it home. Not really a lot of travel trouble over the years. And thankfully, nothing very expensive. :drunk2: ___ [/QUOTE]
