    Default What do you keep in your car?

    The other day when cruising with my friend my fuel filter cir clip popped off and I became aware of how much our tools and other things to help in times of need varied. So I was wondering what do you keep in your car for when you break down?

    Ah yes, the bare essentials of not only all things automotive but life in general.

    A lot of you keep some interesting stuff, too afraid to ask why in most cases and I don't think I want to know in other cases... Ahahah

    Not much. I don't think any of my cars even have a jack in them at the moment. They're all in the shed helping put my chassis kit in my LC.
