Between TAMOR and your fellow CT's I dont see you having too much trouble getting a ride to the parts store if your **** breaks down in town. ****ing **** up on a trip would require a little more preparation on your part, such as sourcing some basic spare parts like u-joints, axle shafts and driveshafts to take with you to make sure you can get home. The biggest requirement to get **** fixed (especially in a hurry, i.e. when returning from a trip) is MONEY. Set aside a decent chunk of change to be your emergency fix-it fund. Your parents will lose patience with your wheelin habbit prety quickly if you have to call them to borrow money after every trip. Do not use this fund for upgrades or anything that isnt immediately necessary to get home.
