A backpack with a change of clothes, heat packs, snow pants, a blanket, etc. for if I get stranded in a blizzard. Scissors in the glove compartment, and every time I get napkins at a fast-food place I shove them in there, too. A tire gauge, insurance/registration, a pen, tissues, my work keys/ID badge (if I bring them inside I KNOW I'll forget them!). And a cat carrier in the trunk :lol3:.
I have a small, foldable hand shovel in between my front seats that a coworker gave me. Both for security and if I ever need a shovel! Flashlight (need to check the batteries), owner's manual for the car, gym clothes (That I never use....), a thing for my ipod that plays music through the radio, sunglasses, pens with scrap paper.. umm, that's all I can think of right now!
CDs, pens, ice scraper, furniture pad in the rear of the car for when I'm transporting plants and vegetables, coins, PA map, ID badge for work, my iPod jack, phone jack, cargo net, small fire extinguisher. A small first aid kit with just the basics. I think that's it.
Ooh, yeah, lots of things I forgot! An ice scraper/snow brush, of course. And a flashlight. Mix tapes (yes, tapes! :tongue2 I made a long time ago, but if I want music I usually listen to Pandora on my phone. A car charger for my cell phone. Loose change in the "ashtray" (I think it's made for change, not ashes, but idk). $10 cash for emergencies. Sunglasses! Pop-up window screens for hot days. The owner's manual and the road hazard packet you get when you buy new tires. A spare oil filter. A reflecty triangle and flares for nighttime breakdowns (never had to use them thankfully). A jack and spare tire. Reusable grocery bags and insulated bags. A couple baggies of cat food. . .just in case .
Wow, I have a lot of stuff in my car! Who knew you could fit so much in a Honda Civic?
OH my truck used to be my office Daily dog walking. So my two dogs came with me everytime. I have dog beds, water bowls, treats, leashes, collars, water bottles. I also have a crate in the back just in case I need it for any kitty rescues. :lol3: I also have CDs, my ipod, sunglasses, towels and napkins. OH and baby wipes for the dogs.
Roll of paper towels, medicine bottle full of change, can of R-134a with charging hose, handicapped placards, oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, funnels, tool kit, claw hammer, spare gas hose, spare brake hose, spare set of glasses and the usual junk of pens, CDs and such
