Help me get my car ready for winter. Car: [year, make, model, mileage]. Where I drive: [commute, highway, any snow or ice]. Give me: (1) a checklist to go over myself or with a mechanic, marked [CHECK MANUAL] where it depends on my car; (2) an emergency kit list under $50; (3) what to do if I get stranded; (4) a reminder schedule for the next three months. Don't give repair instructions beyond basic safe checks.
