I like to carry my spare tire in my trunk.   :slap: :smilielol:

Really depends on where I am going.  If it is any where far, I have the same stuff that you mentioned but if it is fairly close, within an hour drive or so, I just have quick fix stuff like my tool box, ballast resistor, belts, etc.

AAA gold card and a cell phone are the only extra things I drag around unless it's a long distance trip.  These were reliable back in the day, no reason to expect less of them now.

Good points. I also have the AAA gold card and cell phone. You guys should take yours out of the trunk and put them in your interior. That's where I keep mine. In the trunk the thin card could get lost, plus the cell phone would probably bang around the trunk. Just a thought.  :icon_smile_big:

I have a spare ignition box in the trunk and ballast resistor in the glove box. Anything more than that and it's tow truck time.

Typically carry the extra voltage regulators, universal radiator hose, and a tool box with no "Metric" wrenches.  The uncomfortable clown is up between the grill and radiator. ;D

25 clowns, maybe you should start offering driving services for clowns for when their car breaks down.
