We’re down with emergency preparedness, Excalibur – but 13 pieces? Why tempt fate?

Giving this Emergency Car Kit the unluckiest number of pieces makes it seem almost like you want us to break down. Don’t misunderstand. We wouldn’t want to lose a single piece – not the gloves, not the jumper cables, not the ice scraper, and not a single one of the four funnels.

But couldn’t you have thrown in an extra poncho or bungee cord? If space is an issue, how about a zip tie, to keep your license plate on in the event of catastrophic bolt failure? If nothing else, you could’ve taken the lead of the elevator industry and just lied about how many pieces were here.

Wait a minute: you’re counting the carrying bag? Whew. We’ll just throw the bag away and dump the other pieces on the passenger seat. OK, now we’re ready to hit the road, ready for anything thanks to our Excalibur 12-piece Emergency Car Kit. See you on Highway 13, fate!
