In addition to the tools mentionedI always keep at least a  '20 piece of
parachute cord handy(also called 550 cord due to the fact that it will supposedly
hold 550 pounds),  in all of my vehicles. I once had the accelerator cable
break a few miles from home on my Syncro and used it as a makeshift throttle
cable. I just folded the bed down and popped off the engine cover, then I tied the
550 cord to the throttle, through the ring of the head rest and over my right
shoulder where I tied it to my belt. Lean foward go faster, lean back, well
you get the picture. The wife was impressed, just a few minutes earlier she was
just annoyed with my facination with "old" vehicles.        Joe in NH
