Use salvage yards for replacement parts
- Only buy a car if your old car becomes unsafe to drive and isn't easily fixable, or the cost of the repairs is more than 75% of the cost of buying the same car in running condition
- Auto Emergency Kit: yellow/orange umbrella, flashlight, & duct tape - tape the flashlight so that it is attached to the umbrella shaft and pointing up - this turns the entire umbrella into a giant, lighted "traffic cone"
- Make Your Car Last 250,000 Miles
