Well if you ever get an engine failure or accident, you can leave the car on rice overnight and it will be fixed the next day.

Besides what came with the car,
Sunglasses
Reading Glasses (lousy 62- year-old eyeballs)
Covid Mask (force of habit from the last 16 months)
Hand Sanitizer (ditto)
Phone Cable (with tan leather outer jacket to match seats!)
Tire Gauge (pencil-type, I keep the good one in the garage)
Various papers required by law (proof of insurance, registration)
Coin holder/dispenser that fills one cupholder
A couple of plastic trays with carpet-gripping bottoms that I use to haul groceries in the trunk without them spilling out and sliding around.
edited to add: garage door opener!

In the winter I'll add a small snow shovel, a windshield scraper/snow brush and rubber floor mats

Currently carrying:

- 12v powered tire inflator/gauge and flashlight
- lug nut key
- sunscreen
- phone cable
- ear plugs (for longer drives)

I removed my spare a while back since it doesn’t fit my BBK.

I’ve also got a little white FRS toy that someone randomly gave me at the track. Thought that was a cool gesture so I keep it with the car.

MrSkubi · 07-17-2021, 02:09 AM

1.Microfiber, paper tissues and quick detailer for bird poops (happens often near my house sadly)
2.Wheel lock key
3.Tire pressure gauge
4.Lightning cable
5.Ecutek Bluetooth dongle (plugged in)
6.Face mask and hand sanitizer (new trend from 2020 huh?)
7.Quart of oil (this actually might be off this list soon after I replaced my oil cooler fittings an lines and became less OCD about oil leakage)
8.First aid kit, fire extinguisher, emergency triangle (this ones are mandatory where I live)
Damn that's a lot of crap

humfrz · 07-18-2021, 02:03 AM

1. Face mask
