I used to believe this, but the thirteen year old computer I have in my
thirteen year old Jeep has never left me stranded. I have not so fond
memories of replacing an ignition condenser more than once that
stubbornly refused to produce spark, usually in sub-zero weather in a
bad part of town. I think I would rather have been in the woods where
you could have started a fire.

Cheers,

Earle

Well, my 13 year old computer just failed all of a sudden, before that
it had been 100% reliable, so you never know...maybe I should start
carrying a spare.

13 year old _frames_ have been known to fail, all of a sudden. Maybe
you should just tow a spare vehicle if you're that worried about it.

Yup, that's true. Whenever you wheel with other vehicles you in
essence have a spare vehicle with you.
