A pair of winter gloves 6.) 2 pens 7.) A couple custom music CDs 8.) Winter deicer spray & ice scraper (soon to be removed!) |

Everything to keep you entertained in any situation. |
Re: What do you keep in your car?
Last I saw the car when I dropped it off at the Coliseum tonight, there were (among other things)...
1) Griffin RoadTrip for my iPod. Does wonders. 2) Jumper cables 3) Repair paperwork going back as long as I've owned it 4) A table (Did you know that first-gen CR-Vs had them standard? Look under the back floor, where you'd expect a spare tire.) 5) More empty cups/bottles/cans than I should have anywhere, let alone in my car. :rolleyes: |

Re: What do you keep in your car?
Is that an old IBM XT? I remember when they came out! :ahh:
I always have a basic tool kit in the cars. Each of them also has a small Craftsman ratchet set in them, a 12v compressor and tire repair kits. This has come in handy on several occasions. I got a stuck thermostat on my Mustang and overheated. Once it cooled down I removed the upper radiator hose, goose neck, removed the thermostat, and put the goose neck and hose back on. I went into a supermarket and bought several gallons of spring water to refill the radiator. It worked to get me home. I've also removed several nails/screws from my tires, plugged the tires and refilled them with air from the compressor. So far I've never gotten outright stuck somewhere and needed AAA. :D I'll have to really post pics of the stuff. I can't remember everything off the top of my head plus each vehicle has other stuff in it. Maybe I'll take some pics tomorrow. :) |

I took pics today and I have to do this in two posts since I can't attach more than 5 pics to a post.
The first two photos are of my Camry. Back seat area: gallon container of windshield washer fluid new wiper blades I haven't put on yet small snow shovel tissue box old newspapers there's also a first aid kit and a 12v to 110v converter under the seats not visible Trunk area: tool box Craftsman ratchet set (black case doesn't show up easily) green kick ball (my team calls it the "watermelon ball") green folding chair jumper cables rain poncho yellow rope 3 extension cords 2 power strips 12v compressor ice scraper nerf football waders (Northwest box) extra tire iron (silver thing under the football, doesn't belong to the Camry) Not pictured are two cans of spray ice deicer, another ice scraper, snow brush, glow sticks, assorted pens, paper, straws, and a pair of safety glasses on the dashboard. Next three pics are of my Caprice wagon that I haven't driven since November: Front seat area: tissue box sun shade (silver thing on passenger floor, this is a spare car so it sits most of the time) broken off hood ornament (visible through the steering wheel laying on top of the hump. I have a replacement from eBAy but it's too cold to fix it now) Cargo area: new NAPA muffler (the current one is almost nonexistent, it's what happens when a car isn't driven regularly) new muffler clamps (red boxes) new tarps (the car was supposed to be put in storage for the winter but those plans feel through. The tarps were supposed to be on the floor of the rental space to protect the floor from any drips) The drivers side well in the rear: two blankets quart of oil (the motor goes through some oil at 170k on the odometer) rope ratchet clamps bungee cords jumper cables 25' tape measure roll of paper towels "CAUTION" tape |

And now for the Mustang ;) lets start with the trunk: toolbox Craftsman ratchet set many, many, many towels and rags (some of them are better than the one's in the house! :rolleyes: ) dust brush 12v compressor 12v vacuum folding chair (American flag) Rubbermaid container with cleaning supplies, flash light, and transmission fluid roll of paper towels card board box with assorted stuff (antifreeze, pens, paper, picture album, original paperwork for the car, original dealer brochure, maps, funnel, cheeze cloth) The thing to the right under the plaid cover is the spare tire. and the last pic is the Ford bear I got that's almost the same color as the car. He stays buckeled in the back seat. |
