<<If you can think of anything, along the lines of the car preparation, let me know. I have that nagging feeling I'm missing something.>> This might be a rather radical thought along the lines of car (transportation) prep, flatsville, but I'm hanging tight to an early '80's Toyota that was my kid's school car. I can fashion almost any part or fix almost anything on that straight-forward, reliable, carb'ed-engined auto with basic tools and simple parts. Contrast that with "modern" cars where adding oil and fuel are about as far as an owner can go with maintenance (a slight stretch, perhaps, but not too far off the mark. Troubles with my "modern" (mid'90's) car are diagnosed by plugging it into a computer. Most "modern" engine and drive train repairs involve replacement of parts, not repair. Special, expensive tools are often needed. That's the way they are designed.) ...Tim
