It's so funny! I've only had my 7 for a few months, and because of gas tank problems, only driven it a couple of hundred miles, and I've already collected most of the stuff mentioned here!

Wow, some of this is useful, but the rest of you guys should do more work on your cars before you put them back on the road with all these issues.

 

Actually when I started it, I was looking for humorous replies that we could relate to when we were working on our cars..

 

You guys are making this waaaay too hard. All you need is a bumper hitch to tow your spare parts car around with you. Strip the interior of it and you have more than enough room for whatever you need. Then you install a hitch on the back of the parts car, to pull the pop-up camper for those 'extended' repairs.

BTW, is anyone familiar with the expression, "Don't call us, we'll call you"? I charge more than the tow companies, lol

 

 

Point taken!

 

Personally, I like the 83 best of all. Lighter, prettier, better instrument cluster, smoothest running.

 

UM... Don't forget a resivoir of ATF, connected to the carb with a hose and pump.

This way when you've got some *** who won't stop tailgating you, you can wait for the next stop, and "smoke" them...

 

^ Finally some Humor. Instant fog bank,lol.

 

Hell Ill juet let it sit at idle, next to them the exhuast fumes will do the rest!

I have to carry around a bottle of Polo Black just so I dont stink like Wankel when I go into work! lol

When I forget sometimes, they ask matt what are you wearing and I say oh that, its "Wankel Colonge"

 

^ Matt, did they tell you to stop playing with your Wankel at work? lol.

 

You know this is actually good. If you break down out of town, autozone doesnt carry parts.

 

Two spare spark Plug and a plug wrench

 

I just keep my "Wheelman" on the floor in the space behind the seats and when the car dies, roll the driver's window down, get out of the car and shut the door. Stand on the Wheelman next to the car, then reach through the open window, grab the steering wheel with one hand, squeeze the Wheelman throttle with the other hand, and "push" the car home. No tow strap needed.

Oh, and that "sub-zero starting assist fluid reservoir" holds almost a whole bottle of Jack Daniels...

CAA/AAA membership, problem solved, look in the sig.

 

OK. You did say humorous replies, right? Just checking...

 

^ Yes, and nicely done,lol.

 

I carry one of those spinning rotary keyrings, they are great for ending those long annoying explanations at the gasstations.

If thats not enough I also carry a pack of disposable latex gloves Ha ha seriously they are great for those ever returning sparkplug check ups.

 

a passenger always helps... that way u dont have to talk to yourself when your stranded...

 

Durable boots. To kick the car with when everthing else fails...

 

I carry at least one spare ignitor in each vehicle even tho I've never had one fail. I also carry a crappy little stamped steel ratchet I got from the Ace hardware store for $5 that takes a hex drive phillips bit because that allows you to get into the tight fits around the distributor and get at the mounting screws.

 

After years of mods and upgrades to eliminate all the aforementioned common failure points and the needed emergency replacement parts that go with them,Ive narrowed my emergency roadside kit down to 3 items......

Spare tire.....never used.....Much to the delight of the local tire shops,since they said mounting my wide,35 series tires was a bitch,when I bought them!

Extra quart of oil....an obvious,unavoidable item for a rotary driver.

Paperclip.....to ground the diagnostic terminal and read trouble codes.Only used once or twice.
