AAA fits in the wallet and is available where ever you can phone from.

Perhaps a SAT phone is the only tool you'll ever need.

I wonder if there is a consensus on items the fail somewhat predictably or commonly and from that list pick the things that you can carry spares for.

I can think of these from what I have read:

IMS Bearing
Ignition Switch
Headlight Switch
Airbag issues
Fuses
Top gets stuck up or down. Limit switches fail.

I personally only carry AAA card, Cell Phone, spare fuses,flashlight and a swiss army tool/leatherman in the car

I figure that with those I can make a determination whether to drive the car any further or flatbed it home.
