Just how bad a situation do you expect to run into?

[The Red One]

Having 2 cars I realized the inventory is quite different for each as is the expected dependability and use.

BRZ: hat, glasses, Wheel locks, USB cable for phone, 128Gb USB stick for tunes, spare oil filter & 1L oil, new light use garden gloves, unused clean rag, Sanitizer wipes, optical lens cleaner, Small Swiss pen knife, note pad, 3 Carabineers, hiking boots.

… Now the 15yr Old car: Still has has Snow brush/scrapper, battery booster/tire inflator, booster cables, Vise-grips(why use proper tool when the bolt will break from the rust anyhow), shovel, Multiple unpaired greasy work gloves, Blanket, matches, candles, spare fuses, Windshield washer fluid, metal Traction aids ,winter gloves, tire pressure gauge, 3 way lug wrench, small lug wrench under my seat for late night city encounters, Number of Half filled semi dried-up touch up paint, many bungee cords, Multi tool, garbage bag full of used rags, Phone mount. Box of scratched CD’s, bicycle pump, bike lock/cable, too many reuse bags for groceries, electrical tape, pkg of zip ties, cargo net, umbrella, emergency raincoat, tent pegs, grey Hot Wheel Porsche spider on passenger shelf (My analog G meter) and numerous unidentified objects under the seats.

Hopefully, none at all.
But if so, one that requires fewer rounds than are available at the time.

[Th3rdSun]

142 piece DeWalt tool kit,Slime portable 12V tire inflator. I use to keep my 2 ton hydraulic jack,but took it out to save weight,but I might throw it back in.

Those are probably the most important things,everything else from tire pressure gauge,to lug key is pretty much expected.

[YamahaR86]

Aside from the spare tire/scissor jack in the car already

• Tire pressure gauge
• Phone charger for me and other people (Android + Apple) saved my friend twice
• Insurance
• Registration
• Receipts for warranty items in same pouch, like my battery
• Recently added a NOCO battery jump starter
• Jumper cables
• ZIP Ties
• Funnel
• Wheel lug nut key
• Pen
• Notepad
• Moving blanket
• Sunglasses

Wow, thanks for the input everyone!

This thread has motivated me to add the following safety equipment (which are mandatory items in a lot of European countries) to my car:

Fire extinguisher
Traffic cone
Reflective jacket
First aid kit
Rubber/nylon gloves
