We resorted to the same plan recently Andy. We missed a Christmas dinner as a result, but better this one than all the rest of them them.

That said, my car kit includes wool blanket, sleeping bag, extra clothes, pocket warmers, candles, high calorie food, a nesbit stove and mess cup/hot drinks for warmth.

To the question of sleeping outside, I keep a small tent, therma-rest and a tarp in my kit for just such a scenario. Keeping warm longer than a few hours waiting for a tow, might be better in a smaller, non-metal shelter.
