well actually the last time i did have it in my hand was when i bought the car...cash talks, but for everyday uses, seriously no idea

I have a friend who claims it is a bad idea to carry tools in the car because the car knows, and will force you to use them.
She drove a '78 MGB from Denver to LA and then up to Seattle, and on a subsequent trip out east to New England and back, all without a single tool or spare part in the car, and never needed them.
Of course subsequently she blew a fuel line about 20 miles from home and practically burned the poor thing to the ground, but, hey, stuff happens.

Ah, this makes a lot of sense coming from a person who drives an MG... one of the most undependable cars on the road of all time!

1. Passenger Seat
2. If passenger seat is occupied, bungee corded to rollbar and sitting on a bath towel. That's what I prepared for when I was driving back and forth to CA on vacation.

Of course, #2 only works when it's not raining outside and the top can be lowered for the ride to the tire store where a new tire can be put on the rim.

I though men wore cologne and women wore perfume! :) I just bought the new scents from Kenneth Cole and Armani. Great stuff. Prada had a nice product too. Maybe next time I'm at the store.

too many junk in the cockpit to mention :o

All this and I haven't seen the one thing I'd actually think about carrying, driver's gloves for the twisties!

I just keep a couple microfiber towels and bottle of water in the cabin just for any cleaning needs (even tho I don't allow open consumption of food or drink inside). Occasionally if I've been driving for awhile I'll use them so no hand moisture gets to the wheel/stick. Actually, I do keep the service manual in my trunk, because at home, work, or elsewhere, darnit I want it to be close by when I need to look something up!

Besides that...everything else is just unnecessary weight (sorry honey!).
