[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a rec for a kit but here are some suggestions.

There is a machine you can buy to pump up tires.  I wish I had that.  I haven't gotten around to buying one but I am sick of hunting for places that have working machines.

Kits used to have flares.  Now they have better things like LEDs.  Look for that.

An AAA membership makes a good gift.  I haven't changed a tire yet.  I have used AAA help many times... for dead batteries in winter or due to lights draining, mechanical breakdowns, etc.

Jumper cables are useless if you don't have experience  with them.[/quote]

Jumper Cables are EXTREMELY USEFUL if you dont know how to use it. My 19 year old daughter I put them in the trunk of her car at college. She went to a concert in Philly and stayed over night her friends house. She comes out in morning car wont start. She calls me. I tell her open trunk take out Jumper Cables, Then open hood of car and I will explain how to hook up on batter on positive and negative and then you do the same to the other car. 10 seconds into to explaining a UPS driver doubled parked next to her and jumped her while I was on the phone.

Off she went. She was joking that was like less than one minute. But I was that was cause you had the cables. Once you open hood and and have cables out people usually help.      [/quote]

Jump start batteries are actually cheap now— don’t even need someone else to stop. Like the Noco boost G40 is around 100 (also recharges other things too). [/quote]
