So I will add 'Air Compressor' in trunk. haha.

Also another one I have never really paid attention to is battery age. It sucked when my battery died right around the 3 year mark when I was in Indy earlier this year. Locating a battery was a pain too. Apparently ours is a different size or someshit than the v6 cars.
