Back in the day when I drove British sports cars, we always kept spare belts, plugs, points, a carburetor balancer, a jug of coolant and at least a quart of oil in the trunk, along with a full tool kit (with a hammer for the starter). Whenever I would replace hoses or plug wires, I'd toss the take-offs in the trunk as well as spares. You never knew when something would fail.
It's nice not to have to do that with modern cars. |

each car gets its own ice scraper (seasonal but usually with the XJ and truck they stay in there cause fuck it)
small amount of tools + zipties USB charger + cables sunglasses BRZ has an ipod that lives in it full time now. Other than that I have a backpack with some tools, first aid, USB drives, passport, etc. that's basically a "go bag" I have on me pretty much all the time, easier than having multiples for 6 cars and 4 motorcycles.

I got a beer bottle coozy from a local brewery that fits over the shift knob perfectly (upside down). I've got a Perrin shift knob and that chunk of billet can get pretty hot in the summer or pretty cold in the winter!

That is a good idea. My IRP gets stupid hot sitting in the sun. I think I even have a nameless performance beer coozy in my stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
