I just keep a maglite (between the center console and drivers seat), a tiny first aid kit, a 19" chrome breaker bar with a 3/4" socket, and a nice leatherman's tool.

In the 162,000 miles I've driven this car, I've very rarely needed anything else. If it was too bad for these tools, the car needed to be towed home anyways... lol.

One of these days, I may get a more extensive emergency kit.

What brought on this forum anyways? lol

1. AAA Extended Coverage 250 miles of towing.
2. Cell Phone and Charger.
3. jumper cables.
4. Duck Tape.
5. Zip Ties.
6. Tools ( Screw drivers , adj wrench, car specific sockets )
7. Air Compressor , plugs, fix a flat .
8. Glock .40 Cal
9. Water Bottle ( It gets hot here in AZ )

- - Keep in mind a Z06 does not have a spare or run flats.... I got stuck in between Wikenburg and Wikieup on the way home from Vegas. No Cell Phone Signal 4am . That sucked. F'd up the back of my car too when the tire blew out... Those tools above were worthless.
