As for Battery mortality! I was on the Kern one year, in winter, fishing with Karen and driving the Prius. The Battery died, which also meant I couldn't use the key-thob...we hitched a ride from 17.5 miles to kernville, called toyota and they told us there was a little key inside the thob. Got a ride back up to the 17.5, got the hood opened, had it jumped, drove directly to Pep Boys and purchased a jumper box for $150.00 THE BEST THING I OWN!!! I've used it about a dozen times since on my own cars and helped others. I never go on a trip without one in our car. (Plus I don't have to rely on AAA) They have three sizes. This holiday I'm getting the small one to keep in the Prius so i don't have to swap it out or forget to move it from one car to the other. If you're out in the semi or complete wilderness, as many of us are without phone service, it's a great POM (Peace of Mind)
EVERY DAY A VICTORY, EVERY YEAR A TRIUMPH
