Our trusty tool kit

What kind of predicament did your trusty Lexus tool kit got you out of ???

Well for me last Friday I blew up my motor

.And had to called a tow truck for a lift home . When I realized there was no way the driver was going to be able to wench my car onto the bed . So I remembered I had the tool kit I grabbed the 10mm wrench and proceeded to remove my AC front bumper , which I did .After what had happen with the motor .I sure as hell didn't need to add insult to injury. Thank goodness for my trusty tool kit..

Post up your stories I'm looking forward to reading them..

Damn sorry to hear about that man. My tool kit saved me four times on my trip from Colorado to Cali last September when I kept blowing IC pipes, and many many other times due to that same pipe. All fixed now though! I haven't had to use my tool kit in ~6 months. *knocks on wood*

My car didn't come with one

Probably the only thing it didn't come with. I still have the phone, owner's manual, window sticker, original spare and tools, but no tool kit

Check the first aid kit!

I got all of the above, but was peeved when I didn't get the tool kit. Until I opened the first aid kit and there it was. Never have needed it.
