On any Road Trip, nobody expects bad things to happen. Eventually, though, there’s a good chance one will happen to you. It’s always a good idea to be prepared for emergencies. It doesn’t take much to lessen the chance that a road trip car problem will derail your entire journey. Throwing a few handy things into your trunk can turn a potential bad luck crisis into a not-such-a-big deal. And, like any good financial planner will tell you, auto (and financial) problems are only a matter of if, not when.
