<h2>Vehicle - Mechanical Preparation</h2>

<p>Thorough mechanical preparation of your vehicle is very important to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. </p>

<P>The state of the vehicle will determine just how much mechanical preparation needs to be done.</p>

<br>

<p>We have installed one device which is definitely worth mentioning at this time. The 3-NUT BUMP-O-METER. Trademarked and patented (yet to be approved) by myself, this device gives you real-time feedback on the state of your vehicle. </p>

<p>If at any point during your drive you see one or more nuts emerge from the spare tire on the hood, you are guaranteed that something has broken. The more nuts emerge, the worse the breakdown. If all three nuts completely leave the tire and do not fall back into place, you are in serious trouble.</p>
