Default What do you keep in your car?

I was wondering what other Rennlisters keep in their cars for emergency/reliability reasons. I always keep:
• An extra immobilizer fob with a fresh battery and the disable instructions w/ imobalizer security code;
• All the additional tools and parts necessary to easily replace the belts in a tool bag in the frunk;
• I also keep an extra DME relay in one of the door pockets and;
• I nixed the anti-theft wheel nuts from the wheels as they fail easily and will necessitate a tow if it happens during a tire change while on the road.

Water bottles, windex, spare window switch, and a quart of oil.
On a long trip I will take tools etc, but around town I have AAA and a credit card if needed.
