What essential items do you keep in your car?
I'm curious to know what 'essential items' the fine people on these forums keep in their vehicles.
Yes, it's also a gratuitous way for a noob like me to get more posts as I'm not super mechanically inclined and feel I have not much to contribute to this community . I'll start. Tire pressure gauge OBD2 bluetooth adapter Wheel lock key Jumper cables Flashlight Snow brush (during winter) A few dollars in loose change Glass cleaner Paper towels Pen/pencil Notepad Extra pair of shoes Jacket And last but not least: HAND SANITIZER! Edit: Face mask, can't forget that one! Last edited by coastwardpig; 04-11-2021 at 07:49 PM. |

In my limited edition BRZ STd Dual Sport daily driver:
OFT and cables Receipts. Empty iced coffee bottles A spray jacket 3 mismatched socks A pile of student assignments to be graded A diecast model of a BRZ Some old Hillclimb programs Fire extinguisher Some handouts of nonsensical flowcharts from a conference Camera mount An Aux cord that is incompatible with my phone case Pens Oh, and if I'm doing a track day I'll throw in a multi tool and a tyre gauge I've tried to be a grown up about my car but after 23 years of car ownership I now embrace my inner slob.

LMAO! Similar to the vast majority of Canadian's I don't own any firearms. I'd simply just use my legs and run |

Well, I just went out and looked. In the trunk of the twin is a trunk organizer with a old bath towel, 2 wine glasses, one of those umbrellas that folds down to about 6 inches long, and a small micro fiber towel.
In the glove box is registration and proof of insurance, a phone mount I bought that I've never used, a stack of napkins the wife grabbed from somewhere we ate, and some random ticket. |
