I dont care if ac goes out, or if cruise control stops working, and I know I need to bring an extra set of fuel filters with me, but overall, with the age of the car, is there anything I should be worried about with reliablity?
Other than fuel filters, would anything else be appropriate to carry with me?
Thanks!
