I use mine to keep spare air in case I get trapped.

I've been thinking of making a custom bladder/tank to hold water/meth for secondary injection. Could hold a good amount of water.

I keep my spare tire in it. Mainly because the only time I didn't was when I lost a tire in the middle of nowhere and had to walk 20 KM/H with my girlfriend to a small nearby town, borrow a cell phone, call my brother, wait hours for him to deliver the spare tire and jack, then finally get home around 4 hours later. Only to wake up 3 hours later to bring the car to the tire store to get a new one fitted in time to pick up the girlfriend for a day trip to Toronto...

Yeah, you'll never find me without a spare tire now.

Had a couple flat tyres in the past , tried the spare , but it never worked . Anytime I give it a little gas , the rim would spin in the tyre and it would go flat too ! this is why I now have road side assistance , they will find you anywhere to bring you some gas , a tyre or to move the whole car with you and your girlfriend in it.
