What's in your in-car toolbox?

[tlr]

Mine is a nice little toolbox I found at Fry's:

• 1 quart oil
• tire pressure gauge
• Swiss army knife
• mini flashlight
• wrench (tow hook front plate)
• pliers (why not?)

[TMR]

flashlight, ducktape, zipties, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, small rachet, screwdrivers with numerous tips and a hammer to throw through the damn window if it leaves me standed somewhere.

A Glock 23 and a pint of Jack Daniels.

Hang on... there's no toolkit in the trunklid anymore? So much for progress :-(

[RoundTwo]

A liter of Jack Daniels, a two liter of Coca-Cola, a box of caaaaaannnnndoms, and 10 blank CDs. EVERY. DAY.

Believe it or not, last summer I traveled on a road trip through central Oregon with a spare tire. This was in case I got stranded in some little town that did not carry 19's (I did not want to be stuck waiting for a tire to be shipped in). I packed lots of stuff in the middle of the tire, so it really did not take too much space...though I do wonder what the local tire guy might have done to my rim should the need have risen to swap tires...ouch!

To paraphrase a friend of mine...
A shotgun, and your toolkit :-)

It's now hidden on the right side under that panel...

I've got a small plastic basic toolkit screwed into the backside of the passenger side rear seat, so it's available and facing you if you flip that down from the drivers side. It's not really geared so much towards car repair as other stuff I just find I need on the road, in offices, at others homes, etc. Basics like pliers/screwdrivers/hammer/knife/nutdrivers plus extras like wire ties, electrical tape, hanger wire, nails, screws etc. I'm not going to be able to effect large scale or complicated repairs, but it's come in handy several times.

Nothing....ill just hit the "eject" button when something goes wrong or needs to be fixed...at least for the first 4 years....

LED flashlight, couple of allen wrenches, reflector triangles, 2 flares. And for winter: snow boots, down bag, scraper.

What is supposed to come in the OEM toolkit? Because I think I may be missing some items. (I noticed the kit only 2 weeks ago, bought the car off the lot in Nov.)

Also thinking I may need a can of re-inflator, just in case.

LMFAO........... God my wife hates that thing, we'll be packing for a trip and I'll show her that and ask if I need to bring it or are you going to hook me up properly while were on vaca............. Man she goes donkey kong!

Toolkit wise just whatever came with the car plus a flashlight and a Ruger LCP w/Crimson Trace.......... what more could you possibly need other than possibly sun tan lotion, flip flops, condoms, lube, wraps, a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot, and a baby's arm holding an apple.

About the only thing in the factory tool kit is a reversable screwdriver and maybe the tool for the sun roof(don't have one so don't care.) I also bought the 12-14 mm wrench and an extra lug nut just to fill up the spaces.

There should be a can of sealer along with a compressor under the cover in the trunk. I also have my front plate and a reflective vest from ED in there.

[Joonsup]

for my e92 i don't carry any tools but i probably should. for my e30, i carry most of my tools b/c i never know when something will give out on that 20yr old car.

[RayC]

I have:

- 2 Microfiber towels
- Detail Spray
- Stoner Glass cleaner
- OEM Toolkit
- OEM Air Compressor
- Tire Gauge
- Ice Scraper
- Winter boots
- Small Blanket
- 2 16oz water bottles
- Small trash bags
- Zip ties
- Glow sticks
- Reflector triangle
- Flashlight

I used to have a bat, but I swapped it out for a bokken.

I like to be prepared.

So what's missing here? (If anything?) I see empty places where tools should be, but I don't know what.
