Now that you have the 3 key essential’s to making sure your vehicle is running smooth, make sure to pack some things in your trunk for those just in case moments. I recommend putting a blanket or two in your trunk, have some bottled water and some snacks, always carry a flashlight with some spare batteries. If you can get a little shovel and a flare that would be very helpful too incase you need to dig yourself out and the flashers will act as a safety along  the road so oncoming vehicles can see you are near and in distress. I also suggest carrying some extra clothing and extra socks in case you need extra layers and or if your clothes get wet.
