Stop in for a cup of coffee

Were you at any time ever using the rear defrost?

I haven't used the rear defrost lately.

Since you are preparing for the trip with your
extinguisher have the wrenches with you to disconnect
battery cables quickly if needed.
Perhaps even disconnect and reinstall them a bit loose
before the drive as a precaution. Hope it goes without
anything as bad as fire.

Thank you, that's a really smart tip.

I'm probably worrying too much, it's just that this little Tercel has been really good transportation, even the mechanic who did the timing belt commented it's peppy (5 speed) and it's comfortable for around town, great mpg. Some day when it's gone, I'm going to miss "Rudy."
