Talking what tools you keep in your problem rocket!

I was just curious, considering that my 88 turbo has more tools in it than my garage , what do you all keep in your cars?

Tire Gauge, jumper cables, this tire leak repair thing, emergency flare, lug nut key, this thing that you fold or something into a lug nut wrench, Pen and Paper, MMO, 20 oz. of water, quart of oil, spare tire, these things you put behind your tires that stop your car from rolling back, and a map.

lol....

No, I'm not paranoid... just don't like to be stuck in situations.

Here's my list:

-Full standard and metric socket set. Set of metric and standard wrenches (upto 19mm).
-Various screw drivers as well as a 1/4" driver+bits
-Small 8oz Hammer
-Full roll of electrical and duct tape.
-Utility blade
-Extra 14 gauge wire (just a little)
-About 3 ft of vacuum hose.
-Flashlight
-Jumper cables

Basicly everything I need to tear the car down to shortblock if needed for WHATEVER reason.
And everything fits in my passenger bin

Doesn't weigh too much either, nothing I'm worried about.
