MH>I was 23yo when I got married the first time and the price of our two cars
MH>added together was $600.  I carried a tool kit in the trunk of my car (and
MH>still do), since you never know when you are going to need to use them.

Now you are reminding me of my leaner years as money goes. I used to
select my Used Cars from the Consumer Reports "Worst Used Car Buy" list
because they were in my price range.
I also use to  carried a tool box in the car and even had my own tow bar
to rescue the disabled vehicle. Later on when things were better I still
continued to buy from the "Worst Car List" and instead of making car
payments paid off the house in 15 years instead of 30.
