Before you take any holiday road trips this month, it's a good idea to make sure your car is stocked for emergencies. Assemble an emergency supply kit for your vehicle that includes water, non-perishable foods, a flashlight, and batteries. And before colder weather arrives, add antifreeze, a blanket, and have a mechanic check your exhaust system, heater, brakes, and defroster.
