"A basic first aid kit for one, a knife for another, tools for simple car repairs, emergency flares/lights, fire extinguisher. Hang nothing from your mirror because it gets in the way of your view."

"I have a comprehensive first aid bag in my Jeep, as well as two blankets. When I go off road, I have my recovery kit with more gear. If we are expecting to be far off paved roads, I throw my 96 hour emergency bag on board and a Rossi 92 SRS…"

"Can't go worng with an "oh shit" bag. Bandages, Ace wrap (you'd be shocked how many things you can do with that stuff. Makes a handy emergency tie-down), a compass, a couple bottles of water, some type of non-perishable food item…"

"The entire bottom section opens up revealing a giant cubby for storage, on my SUV. I keep an emergency kit, water, blankets, a tent, and some MREs (meals ready to eat). Also a small assortment of knives and tools. Not to mention a loaded .45 mounted…"

"The skull of a defeated enemy mounted on the dashboard with red LED lights in the eye sockets. "

"Here, asphalt is a (think) liquid for a good portion of the year.  And the greenhouse windows on a car can make even *touching* the steering wheel a painful experience.    Once you've been branded by the seatbelt buckle, you know…"

"I have the same "emergency" collection you have for various trouble I run into on the road. During the winter months I do keep a pair of pants, my boots, and a coat in the car just in case. As for the rear view mirror I dried out some…"

"I've never seen one of those mylar covers in the frozen north Chuck. I'm referring to the cheezy rubber steering wheel covers with designs like flames, hello kitty, etc. that just slip on the wheel. They slip off during quick turns. Mostly…"

"We;'re talking about different things.   When it's 120F outside, and you park in the sun, the steering wheel can get too hot to handle.  This steering wheel cover is a slip on cover that is put on while parked, to reflect the…"

"Steering wheel covers are accidents waiting to happen unless they're laced on.  Seen it several times."

"I'm just curious as to where you would wear them....."

"The day I rate my "manliness" on what some other guy think I should or should not drive is the day I will start wearing my wife's tampons."

"    I’ve driven a Prius, a 2012. Dynamically, it’s awful. The transmission has all of the typical faults of CVT. The brakes are limited by the low-grip tires, which induces the anti-lock system to do its thing at anything…"

"This turned out to be a much more interesting discussion than I thought it would be!"

"  Actually, no.  The Prius is designed with a bias towards low emissions.  A really good way to achieve that is high fuel efficiency.  But the design bias is towards low emissions, if you really want to be specific.…"

"I'd love to know what is "practical" about a Prius? A Honda Fit is a vastly better car, for much less money. Unless you're almost exclusively an urban driver, the Fit is a far more practical and fun car. I'm not shocked…"
