About Me

Keep Your Car Prepared

Three years ago, I was driving home for the holidays across the country. As usual during the holiday season, a huge snowstorm hit. I ended up being stranded on the side of the road in a huge snowdrift. Luckily, I was prepared with food, warm blankets, and--most importantly--the phone number for my favorite towing company. After a few hours, they were able to pull me out and take me into the shop with no lasting damage. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't had the information for the towing company. I could have been stuck in the middle of the winter storm for days! This led me to do some research on cars, towing companies, repairs, etc. which I've decided to share via this blog. I hope it helps keep you out of a rut one day.
