[QUOTE=ford38v8;2433257]What’s distance got to do with anything? Breakdowns don’t care where they happen.[/QUOTE
it's not about the distance it's the lack of facilities.
about 20 years ago my truck broke down in Austin Nv and i was about 150 miles from the nearest tow truck and a ford dealership that could replace my engine. the tow (cash only), food and lodging and the price of a rebuilt engine were much more use to me than any tool. OTOH the cash and ATM card were life-savers.
