Hakuna Ma-trouble: The Ultimate Kenyan Car Survival Kit

Hakuna Ma-trouble: The Ultimate Kenyan Car Survival Kit

Picture this: You're cruising down the highway like a boss, when suddenly your car sputters and dies. As you move to the side of the road, you realize with horror that your "check engine" light wasn't just a suggestion🙁

Now you're stranded, your phone's at 2% battery, and the only tools in your car are a forest of empty water bottles and a small nation of waste papers.

Fear not, fellow road warriors! Here are eleven essential car tools to keep in your vehicle to help you handle emergencies or breakdowns like a pro!

  1. Spare Tire and Jack: The unsung heroes of your trunk! Think of them as your car's backup dancers - not always in the spotlight, but boy, do you need them when the show must go on. And remember, a flat spare tire doesn't help anyone!
  2. Tire Iron/Wrench: Think of it as the chapati roller of car maintenance. With enough practice, you'll be flipping tires as smoothly as your mom flips perfect chapatis.
  3. Jump Start Cables: These are like a defibrillator for your car. When your battery decides to take an impromptu siesta, these babies will shock it back to life faster than you can say "Pewa Mbili Baridi!"
  4. First Aid Kit: Because sometimes your car isn't the only thing that needs a quick fix. It's like carrying a dispensary in your glove box - minus the queue and the cranky nurses.
  5. Flashlight and Extra Batteries: For when your adventure turns into an unexpected episode of "After Dark". Pro tip: This also doubles as an excellent "mutura and soup inspector" at your favorite joint in the dark "kachum"
  6. Basic Tool Kit: Channel your inner fundi with this set. It's perfect for those "I can fix it myself" moments that inevitably turn into "Maybe I should've called a mechanic" regrets.
  7. Fire Extinguisher: Because sometimes your engine decides to audition for "Kenya's Got Talent" in the 'breathing fire' category. This helps keep those performances to a minimum.
  8. Reflective Triangle or Road Flares: Your personal disco ball for roadside emergencies. It's like saying, "Hey, look at me! I'm having car trouble, but I'm doing it with style!"
  9. Tow Rope or Chain: For when your car decides it's too tired to walk and needs a piggyback ride. It's also great for towing that friend who swore they could make it home on fumes.
  10. Endless Supply of Patience: Not a physical tool, but trust us, you'll need it. Especially when dealing with " makanicas" during crunch time!
  11. A Good Playlist: Because nothing says "I'm prepared for anything" like having the perfect soundtrack for your breakdown. From upbeat tunes to keep your spirits high, to sad songs when you realize you're really, really late for that meeting.

With these tools at your disposal you'll be equipped to handle the next time your car throws a tantrum in the middle of nowhere!
