The essential "save your ass bag" thread

I keep a Leatherman in the glove box.

Edit. I should add that it's not even a real Leatherman but some two dollar Chinese knockoff.

Professional Engineer power: Easter Bunny glares at it, and it fixes itself. The cheap Chinese Leatherman is just for opening beers afterward.

No I actually have a wine key and a cigar cutter in the armrest, I take my partying seriously.

Honestly though, before this i drove a 77 pinto and 74 cutlass supreme, both at least 20 years old by the time i was driving them, at that point in my life all of my tools were in the trunk of the car, i never had a breakdown other than flat tires that didnt require a tow.

The closest i came to a road side repair is when the cutlass sprung a leak in the radiator, i kept several gallon jugs of water in the trunk which i used to refill the radiator before starting it. though i did drive it to work 35 miles each way for a week this way.
