Mobile stuff
What stuff do you have to have with you in your car? What stuff ends up in your car?
I noticed today, that I have a total of five umbrellas in my car interior and my trunk. I really don't know why other than hubs was raised by his very british parents and his family seems to have a thing about umbrellas every time it rains. I don't think I even owned one before I married him.
Things I have to have, sunglasses, and a tin of Altoid mints.

Re: Mobile stuff
I have two umbrellas, assorted napkins in my glove compartment. Car seat for my granddaughter, car cell phone charger, GPS navigator, enough CD's to open my own store.
I always have a pair of sneakers in my car, with socks. I don't know how many times I have gone somewhere and wish I had worn them. Took care of that.

Re: Mobile stuff
Its all compact and in a milk crate LOL Except the portable power supply for jumping and light etc. and the water. I have (Had) a mini van. Has alot of compartments if I really want it put away. Compared to the football, gear , swimming equipment , scuba gear, surf boards, fishing gear and crabbing nets and traps. You have no idea how much crap you can fit in a mini van. You should see when we go camping LOL. My Van is a giant paper weight right now so its like a giant storage unit at the moment. But my sons truck is similar. lol To be honest those emergency preparedness kit (That's basically what I have) takes up much less space than you would think. I left off the swiss army knife.
