In the car
  • Flats (essential skill)
    • Tire pressure gauge
    • Fix-a-flat
    • Proper Jack, Jack Stands, Wheel Chocks
    • Full Size Spare
  • Repairs on the Road
    • Jumper cables (essential skill)
    • Ratchet/wrench set
    • Duct Tape, Electrical Tape
    • Chilton Manual
  • One of those emergency kits (flares, triangles)
    • cash money for just in case
  • Blanket
  • Some bottles of water
  • An old road atlas from my days for selling door to door (pre gps)
Tools at the crib
  • Proper Jack, Jack Stands, Wheel Chocks
  • Full ratchet and wrench set
  • Oil filter wrench and drain pan
  • Torque Wrench and Breaker Bar
  • Chilton Manual is nice, but most repairs are on Youtube these days (fixing stuff is both harder and easier - easier because of tutorials, harder because MFRs are making things harder to fix on purpose/for profit for fuel efficiency/climate change)
Very Optional - But I like Detailing my own car.
  • Detailer's Spray, distilled water, and microfleece clothes in the trunk for spot cleaning
  • 2 Buckets, Mitt, Hose Attachment
  • Car Soap, Detailing Clay, Polish, Wax, wheel brush, and tire shine,
  • Rain X for the windows, air freshener for the ride, something to protect the plastic in the car
