- an emergency roadside homemade kit (jumper cables, extra air filter, cigarette lighter mini-compressor, extra oil, etc.)
- extra windshield wiper fluid (my car has a HUGE tank)
- electrical tape
- loctite krazy glue
- napkins
- a copy of my insurance card, registration, etc.
- manuals that came with the car
- first aid kit
- fishing line
- two umbrellas
- ice scraper/snow brush
- giant Rand McNally US atlas (given to me by a random man at a gas station, coming home from the St. Louis Regional 2003)
- an Indiana highway map (I get a new free one every year from the State Fair, in the same building as the robot display)
- a hanger I keep forgetting to bring inside
- a CD visor
- a pair of sunglasses
- a parking pass (actually two for different areas of campus, robotics and non-robotics)
- leftover Taco Bell bag I can probably throw away
- spare change for meters
- a collection of random directions to random places that I've been before, in case I ever need to go there again
- radio transmitter for my iPod
- gum and breathmints

I guess I'm kind of boring. During robot season (especially around IRI) I basically have a trunk FULL of stuff and a backseat of random FIRST stuff I've thrown back there (safety glasses, pins and lanyards, clothing, etc.)
