I just carry a screwdriver. When it craps out I will take the tags,
have AAA haul it away and drop me at a car rental place. I paid $14k
for it. I have about another $3k in it total other than gas. I got my
money's worth.

When my wife's old Honda died several years ago at a hotel in Miami,
we looked online for used car buyers who would pick up. We found one
who paid us $200 cash and hauled the car away. It more than paid for
our one way rental to get home. The car was 17 y/o and had about
170,000 miles on it when the transmission gave out. It was slipping
like crazy but we made it the last couple of miles to the hotel where
we were staying.
