Bottle of green 'slime' and a cheap(but working) air compressor
Jerry can of diesel
Minimag with niteize dropin and lithium AAs(48hr+ runtime)
Quart of oil
Gallon of premixed coolant

But then again I'm paranoid about anything mechanical

Add a cheap metric socket set and DUCT TAPE and you are good to go.
BTW I take usually keep a spare gallon bottle ot rotella in the trunk.

Oh the farthest trip in one shot was from New Paltz, NY to Bloomington, Il about 17 hours one way. Did that a few times in the SD nice comfortable cruiser. Could never imagine doing it in the BMW, that car gets painful after two hours.

Other regular runs were from NY to Roanoke, Va - 8 hours. I do the trip from WV to NY just about every weekend 4.5 hours
