So what junk do you keep in your car?
I probably can save about 20 lbs of weight if I remove all these items, but being as OC as I am, I keep all this junk in my car:
- A more comprehensive Tool kit in addition to the one supplied in the car behind the spare. - Extra plastic rivets in case I need to remove a wheel well for any reason - A jump starter that works from cigarette lighter from another car to your cigarette lighter in your car, in case your battery dead. This is so that you don't need to worry about opening the front trunk or touching either car's battery. - First Aid Kit - EZ Pass for tolls - Flashlight - Air compressor that works from cigarette lighter in case my spare is low on air - 1 quart of Porsche Coolant - 1 quart of Mobil One - Can of Plexus for my rear plastic window - OEM touch up paint. - Sunglasses, hat, and sun tan lotion in case it's warm enough to put the top down. :) - GPS unit |
i have a CD case and jump cables...and a cig lighter i took out to plug in my radar, and a registration+insurance card.

Ya know, those border guards might look at you a little less suspiciously if it were spelled "passport" :) Of course, I would love to have a fake one with it spelled "passaport", it would allow me to pass as Italian :) I have: tire gauge pull-over fleece for when it's nice (35 degrees+) and I don't have a long sleeved shirt on hat winter gloves (in case my un-insulated driving gloves aren't enough) cell phone charger I think that's it.. I've learned long ago with convertibles to only carry what's important at the time. |
Leather Mercedes Benz CD holder with MP3's on them (upgraded stereo) jammed between the passenger seat and the door sill
Umbrella in the umbrella holder slot Hats in both door cubbies Suntan lotion in driver's cubby Red clip, garage remote, gate remote in top center cubby EZ tag in lower cubby (just can't stick it on the windshield) Valentine 1 (stored there some of the time), digital air pressure gauge and a pen in the oddments tray. |
What is this "EZ tag" & "EZ pass" that you guys refer to?
