things to keep in your car

Hello everybody. I am wandering what the genral consensis on what to keep in your car is... I'm thinking that since I live in the snowbelt I need a few s/b specific items


What I think should be in my car at all times is this
OEM jack
Cheap hydrolic jack (one time use)
Cheap jackstand (better then none)
Cheap toolkit (basic wrenches, plyers, screwdrivers)
Fire extuinguisher
Road flaires/reflectors
Spair parts that fail commonly (full size spair, and fuel filters right now... dont know what else)
4 quart elcheapo diesul oil
Duct tape (yeah I know)
Old cell with a good battery (but not hooked into the network) so you can still call 911
Beef jerky
Water bottle
Small medical kit (bandaids, neosporn, asprin)
$10 in the glove box (I.C.E.)

S/B specific
Blanket (also for medisonal purposes )
Gloves
Small shovel
Small Ice scraper
Jerkums straps, or rachet straps


So Is my list compleate, lacking, overzelious?
Please add what you think everybody should have in their car at all times, and what you really carry in your car

Thanks, and this should be fairly intereasting

Nothing usually. I figure whatever breaks I am probably not going to be able to fix it. So I have a cell with AAA and MB road side.
