Let's see.
Scissor jack. Breaker bar. Quart of oil. Spare fuses. Jumper cables. Tow strap. Set of towels. Change of clothes. Assorted toiletries. Check. Fire extinguisher? Nope. Been meaning to, guess now I've got to make a point of it.
Part of my problem is I can't leave anything too valuable in plain sight as a soft top is impossible to secure. Even if a hypothetical criminal wasn't smart enough to just unzip the rear window, there'd be nothing stopping them from ripping it open with a knife.
Speaking of "things I'd wish I'd had on me at the time", one of those portable welders that run off of a couple car batteries wired in series. Had a friend's transmission fall out in the parking lot recently, the tubular cross member holding it in place had rusted through on the one side and had picked that particular moment to let go. He drove up, put it in park, and CLUNK, it was on the ground.
Chances of something like that happening again? Probably rounds down to zero, not unless I get into some serious offroading. Consequences of not having it? Again, near zero. He got a ratchet strap around it and that was enough that he could limp home at twenty miles an hour with the caution flashers on. But wouldn't it have been cool to have been the one guy with the right tool the right time?
