Yeah, I broke down in old an Subaru in South Dakota many years ago, and had to get towed about 15 miles only to wait for "Bud" or whatever his name was to get back the next day. Turns out "Bud" didn't work on foreign cars ! Towed again, quite a bit farther this time, to find out that the engine was toast (warped block) and the best suggestion they had was to wait for 4 weeks and spend $3-4000 to have a new engine put in! (I was moving, BTW, and all my worldly posessions were in the car.) I ended up hitchhiking to Sioux Falls, renting a Ryder truck w/ a tow dolly, and towed the whole mess to Chicago where I got a used engine swapped in.
Of course, in this case better engine maintenace would have been the only thing that could have saved me, but it still makes me think that your idea of equipping your daughter w/ obvious spares and a Haynes manual is a good one.
