Driving Supplies?
 
So I have been enjoying my Cobra on my first summer with it and find that I am driving it more than my regular vehicle. I have a flashlight, fuses and a simple tool kit and plan to also get some Fix-a-flat as well.

My questions is, for everyday local driving, given that the trunk has very limited space, what do you guys keep in case of roadside issues?

flashlight, safety wire pliers, lead hammer, two cans of fix a flat, tire plug kit. I take some more hand tools for long trips.

flashlight, safety wire pliers, safety wire, lead hammer, fix a flat, tire plug kit, small air compressor, 6ft nylon tow strap in case you need to be loaded onto a flatbed, basic set of mechanics tools that comes in one of those plastic cases, mechanics gloves, extra coil, extra carb return spring, extra distributor cap and rotor, small bottle of glass cleaner and a towel, duct tape, zip ties, knife. Sometimes a tonneau cover.

I keep these in a couple of plastic trays that fit my trunk design and make organization easy. Doesn't take up too much space really.

I keep a car cover, 2 raincoats, toolkit, racing jack, can of fix-a-a-flat, and a small air compressor in the trunk and still have room for two camp chairs and a small cooler for car shows.

Gloves, towel, duct tape, electrical tape, zip ties, and a knife all make sense to me as they are small and take up little space, thanks!

I do keep the tonneau cover in the trunk as well, but maybe now a couple of the raincoats in a baggy on days that might be iffy...

I am surprised nobody keeps fuses?!?


oh, and I keep 2 small travel vials of Deep Woods Off!

I hope that's not in the trunk! Mine's mounted on the floor right in front of the driver's seat.

I have most of everything mentioned but I plan on adding some type of reflector set to set out, as a warning to oncoming traffic. A lot of hills and blind corners in the Northeast.

Mine is in the typical spot between the driver and passenger on the cockpit wall.

GUN, radar detector, car cover, small air comp, fix a flat, small tool kit, lead hammer, road side kit for long trips, small first aid kit for long trips. All keep in trunk except radar detector, I have a fire system for engine so I don't have an extinguisher but probably should, (anybody have a favorite fix a flat brand or are they all the same?)...
