The usual stuff

Detailing materials, umbrella for the bride and CD's.

And what, am I the only one that has some magazines in the trunk?

You know the type that fit in the HK-USP 9mm, gotta be German made, one tool I don't leave home without.

Let's see...

1) A tool box with metric sockets, pliers, screwdrivers, Fluke multi meter,Ford wrench(hammer), etc
2) A plastic carton with a jug of 50% Zerex/50% water, a jug of windshield washer, a gallon of Rotella synthetic 710 fluid, a set of both fuel filters, a spare (old but still good) alt/water pump belt, a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment (MPG went up by 2 after using it), a bottle of cetane booster, funnel, jumper cables.
3) spare tire, jack, wrench, etc
4) '7' iron good for hitting any stray golf balls,miscreants, etc
5) assorted parts that should go into the shed

Hmmm guess I should clean it out someday. I would probably loose 100 lbs from the car if I did so, but I know I will need whatever I take out 80 miles down the road in the rain in the dark!

all I've got is 2 amps (where the spare tire should be, but i have a cell phone, and throw it in if I go more than 20-30 miles from home) a custom MDF floor framed with 2x4s and my sub box up against the fuel tank, all you see is blue carpet though. I don't carry much else, except jumper cables and whatever I need on that specific trip.

- A large paper wasp condo complex.

You know, I guess I should clean in there while the weather is nice.
LOL!

We're not allowed pepper spray in NY. That is why I carry a seven iron in the Benz, "pickle fork" in the BMW, and a nice big tire iron in the 'burban...

Oh in my tool box is a crappy plastic folding knife, but it is hard to get to in an 'emergency'

Cops never bother me. Its not in my trunk anymore, but its not illegal in CT to carry a rifle in your vehical. It just can't be loaded, carry the ammo somewhere else. I don't have any ammunition for it anyway I shot it all on Tuesday, so for me its a mute point.

If its loaded thats a felony, IE your are screwed!

CT is actualy very liberal with gun laws. There is very little that you cannot own/carry/shoot.

I carry a large assortment of various types of dirt that I dare not clean out lest the car should leak.
