A few years back with a different focus wagon I drove out west and it died in the middle of nowhere, Northern Ontario. I also had CAA and it was late on a Saturday. Got towed to the nearest town (Schreiber, ON...Population 1100 on the north shore of Lake superior 60km east of Thunder Bay) where I had to rent an old dingy motel room to wait until Monday for the Ford dealership to open. The motor was pooched and I had to find a vehicle transporter to get the car home as the motor (a used one..story too long to tell here) had been recently replaced and they were going to replace it again under warranty. It cost $700 to get it home to Ottawa. Excruciatingly long bus ride (24 hrs) home to Ottawa from there. It was definitely an adventure.
