My pappy used to tell me: "Use your brain, little things count!" As one who has experienced many unanticipated and unsolicited breakdowns over the years (my favorite was the time a rear wheel came off at 40mph because I had forgotten to tighten the lug nuts), I suspect many, if not most, breakdowns occur because of neglect of some "minor" component...wire, hose clamp, untorqued nut or bolt, etc. Do you think this is the case? I will be taking a long highway trip in my Squareback this coming weekend. In preparation, I oughta check those "little things" that are most suspectible to mischief. >From your astute observation, personal experience, or arcane divination, what do you think are the "little things" that, because they are ignored or overlooked, are most likely to cause problems on the road? Just curious to see what you guys 'n gals think are the most frequent and most probable "minor" problems that can land you in the median of the freeway with your hitch-hiker's thumb up in the air. Or your wife out back pushing... To keep the postings on content, we will not discuss the problems associated with swerving to avoid slow moving Isettas.
