Mostly stuff for the tires. Tire pressure gauge, and things to change tires with.

And simple detailing/washing paraphernalia such as microfiber towels, glass cleaner, leather wipes, and quick detailing spray.

Other tools are simply too heavy and cumbersome to lug everyday. I don't even have jumper cables in the car (I change my batteries appropriately). First aid kit is useless in emergencies. I don't have flares or traffic cones/triangles. Extra fluids such as oil and wiper fluid are in storage.





For the motorcycle, I have three Allen wrenches. That's all.

Unless it came with the car, nothing.

(as a side note, the MB toolkit comes with a pair of white gloves)

The first aid kit that came with the car, an emergency kit with flares and a flashlight as a gift from a family member, and some MF towels and quick detailing spray just in case.

lol that is dangerous. Im surprised they are allowed to sell it as a shovel. Seems like the shoveling is just a cover up
