No, it’s also not a lubricant. It’s a soap aka surfactant.

How about lithium grease, machine oil, or teflon dry lubricant.

Seriously WD40 is great for getting rusty things freed up, but it’s not a good lubricant for long term work.

I am right with ya, but also remember some people don't have the money to prepare. Or don't know how. This type of post at least might give some folks ideas.

Backpack on the car should have extra warm clothes, (old clothes work) blanket, flashlight,weather radio (solar/crank)

Maybe some flares, and some nice to haves : Poncho Warm gloves Work gloves Beany Flares Multi tool Disposable camera -glove box-(accidents) Water bottle (camelback,nalgene type) Headlamp First aid kit (ouchies type not the trauma types)

Get a flat tire kit -spray that inflates tire

  • battery jumper/battery pack -full size jack -paper maps to your city

AAA card. It's Clutch

COVID stuff -facemask (n95) -hand sanitizer

That is wrong on so many levels. Dish soap is not what you use to fix a squeaky door.

Use the right tool for the right job. For this, you should be using Graphite.

To many people don't know how to have a conversation.

They listen to someone talk, and as soon as they can, they take over and talk. It just takes me to mention one key word or place and a friend takes over and says they went there and did that and had a great time....

Even worse, I find if I mention any place I visited, she will say "one of my clients went there" then list of the things at the place that everyone does. Sad part is she works at the business lounge at the airport. Its all other people's stories she is retelling...
