Exactly! I had that same thing in mind but was too embarrassed to admit something might break! haha. It happens though. The last time for me was on a buddies car. Some electrical fried itself during a cruise around the black hills. We weren't too far from the hotels or an auto parts store, but we had no tools and luckily a guy who trailered his ride had tools in his trailer so we could cut out the bad wiring out and splice in some temporary stuff until we got the car back to the shop. That was all about a 1 hour drive from the shop. Man I can't imagine if we were hundreds of miles out. Yes, there are auto parts stores around, but break something big on our customs and you're generally SOL in the short term (like something in the suspension). Hard enough to get a 3/16" flare fitting for brake line let alone a ball joint for a '71 C10 that's really off something else and that has even been modified to fit. Or try getting a big mouth rod end for a 4-link bar from Autozone. It shouldn't ever break but Murphy somehow finds a way to say otherwise.
