What do you keep in your car at all times?

[Scott Engelhardt]

9MM
Bag of tools, coolant, oil, fire extinguisher, a mat to lay on, fender cover, spare bulbs, 100 dollars cash, flashlights, drinking water, fuses, duct tape, electrical tape, several sizes of wire, and most of the time my wife.
I know I am forgetting things. I am kind of the guy that has too much stuff.

Do you all have an opinion on the solid fire extinguishers that are more common recently? Element is one such brand.

Element - Fire Extinguishers

I saw these as well. Fits in the glove box or console or next to the seat track. Also looking for an opinion on these, thanks !

Zip ties, actually helped a couple hold the front fascia on their Honda at a rest stop. On my 87 stang I once used rubber bands to run the water pump when the serpentine belt went at 2am, got me home. I never leave home without jumper cables, you never know.

On cars with regular belts a pair of women's full length pantyhose works well for a fan belt. I shocked a lady who was broken down once when I told her that, but, she got me a pair from her luggage, and I hooked her up and followed her to the garage. She kissed me. Nice kisser. I was 26. She was like 40 something. but hot...lol.

Having a history with fire protection and training, using an extinguisher is a quick deal when it’s spent. For most uses an ABC is common. But, for a car where most fires are gas or electrical, a BC. Dry powders make a nasty-nasty friggin mess and will skank paint. The selection is long and suggest searching the net for recommended ext for cars. You can read up on the pros & cons. I’d say no less than 15lbs for a size. They discharge in under 15 seconds and that’s the shot hoping the fire is out..

Have you noticed at some vehicle shows there is a Fire Extinguisher in front of the left front wheel.

I bought a small Craftsman hydraulic jack in a hard plastic case years ago, nice and compact, strapped in the trunk.
Tiny Nerf football for shows/cruise-ins.

Glad most Mopar trunks are large. Some of you guys need a truck.
I carry my insurance card and a cell phone, but my cars do have a jack, lug wrench, and a spare. Also the necessary fire extinguisher. Happy Motoring.

Which is worse, having skank or burnt paint? Skank isn't the proper word here so I'll go with trashed. I'd rather have trashed over burnt paint!

I don’t know I’m doing it, but apparently I keep dust in my cars. Every week or so, I find dust on the dashboard and other surfaces inside the car.

Just part of the decomposition process. You know, "...from dust to dust..." . LOL
