Top 5 items in your car - what are they?
Now that summer has arrived, what are the top 5 items that you carry in your car, no matter what, to help you be prepared for the summer heat and possible emergencies?

Re: Top 5 items in your car - what are they?
That full size spare is much more important than most people realize.
It's one thing if your vehicle never leaves the city, or pavement, but it's a whole nuther critter if you actually NEED a real tire.

Re: Top 5 items in your car - what are they?
I ride most days, so it's:
fairly comprehensive FAK to include a couple tourniquets
headlamp
firestarting (couple of road flares)
compass & maps
multitool
mirror
poncho
duct tape
pen/paper (rite-in-rain)
extra gloves
extra sunglasses/safety glasses
watch cap
And at the moment, a Snap-On 1/2" drive ratchet just in case I happen to come across one of their trucks so they can fix it...lol.

Re: Top 5 items in your car - what are they?
An actual spare battery? or do you have two batteries installed?
Jumper cables
Flash light
tool box
Antifreeze
Knife
One of the first things I do when I get a car is get a real spare tire.

Re: Top 5 items in your car - what are they?
I have never known/heard of anyone having a spare car battery. My daughter actually could have used one a month ago when her turn signal/light switch lever shorted and left her lights on. They wouldn't turn off.
Re: Top 5 items in your car - what are they?
My vehicles eat batteries here in AZ a lot. Both of my Trucks use 2 900cca batteries and the heat just tears them up. I just went down and bought a recondition one as a spare.
