- sunscreen, sunglasses and hat for top down
- a spare quart of oil
- fire extinguisher
- radar detector
- nice cleaning
- insurance card, registration card, auto-club card
- sometimes a cooler for the frunk with water/soda
- loaded up ipod + car charger for phone
- a way to post on 986forum in case you encounter trouble and need help in a location you're not familiar with. and a camera for pictures to post on 986forum when you've returned!
tony, I find that to be an excellent list, which I hope you don't mind me adding a few things to that I think we can all take for granted at times until we need them...

- jumper cables and/or one of those portable jumper systems which also has an air compressor for filling tires...fits quite nicely in the frunk without worry of it sliding around
- top off and carry an extra container of windshield washer fluid
