Daily driving suggestions.

[Bob Bidonde]

Does your auto insurance policy allow the use of your Model A as a daily use vehicle? If you do use your Model A as daily transportation, I suggest the following attributes are must haves:
> Spare set of keys;
> Turn signals;
> LED tail lights;
> Halogen headlights;
> Alternator & 30-amp ammeter;
> Battery cutoff switch;
> Serviceable spare tire;
> Excellent service brakes;
> Outside mirror on each side of the car;
> Set of modern tools aboard including a safe jack & wheel chock;
> Spare ignition points, condenser, coil and rotor;
> Spare fan belt;
> RainX;
> Gallon of coolant;
> Duct tape;
> Bottle of coolant stop leak such as Barr's;
> Roll of paper towels;
> Proof of insurance & state vehicle registration.

The guys only talking about a four mile trip! He doesn't need a trailer load of spares! (credit card, AAA membership, and walking shoes works for me.)

X2 except for turn signals, LED rear lights (both sides) and a case of bottled water. (The Florida sun can get hot)

Remember he is four miles away not 400. Let's not go overboard. Wayne

I like hearing about those who plan or use their car often.

I will be carrying plenty of spare tools, some water, a new spare tire and tube, and I do have mirrors to go on the hinges of each side of the car but I have not installed them yet. Other than that I will throw in a spare belt and of course a spare cut off switch.

Wow! That's more than the Okies carried on their journey to California!
