    What do you carry around in your car?

    Just wondering what stuff y'all put in your new cars when you first "moved in."

    I have spare tire, flares, pens pads pencils, water, firstaid kit (have CPR training), towels, blanket, airpump,fuses,tape, pliers (and other simple hand tools), tow strap with shackles, windshield cleaner, california duster,..., uh..., and other stuff I can't recall at the moment.

    Anything to add? We want to be comfortable, safe and have convenience for ourselves and our passengers, right?

    Nothing.

    But, added to the new car is:
    - registeration form.

    Other than that, the car is empty. I can't stand little things laying around making buzzing noises.

    Re: What do you carry around in your car?

    Sometimes extra ammo and water , but nothing else important and nothing ID can be stolen from if the car gets stolen.

    Identity theft is big on the west coast. You can take your proof of insurance and registration to a copy center and shrink them yourself onto one two sided piece paper. Keep it in your wallet instead of the car, or just take the proof of insurance. If you are stopped by the police in the US, the most basic NCIC check will tell them who the car is registered to anyway, so its really meaningless to carry the registration docs around anymore. Its just a antique custom.

    I do keep a Taser under the seat on long road trips you can find yourself in some interesting places sometimes and if the top is down you are kind of vulnerable to more than with a hardtop

    Aw gee, you all give me a great idea. I'll get rid of all the junk I've assembled to aid in an emergency or during a breakdown, and replace it with a cylinder of Nitrous Oxide and a joke book.

    Small first aid kit
    Glass cleaner
    Paper towels
    Flashlight
    Small tool kit, a remnant from earlier cars with less than stellar reliability.

    I hope that she changes clothes more than twice a week. But maybe it's a different custom over there in the U.K.?
