I'm making up a toolkit to carry in the car. My list so far:
10,12,14mm combination wrenches
flat & philips screwdrivers
regular pliers (smallish tip, but not needle nose)
pocketknife
booster cables (more important in winter)
tow rope (i'm paranoid)
spark plug wrench
can of ATF
can of oil
electrical tape
duct tape
rag
This should all easily fit in my storage bin behind the driver's seat which isn't used for anything else anyway.
Anything I missed?

I used to carry my whole toolbox (not that big but still) in the trunk of my Passat. Mostly to keep them from getting mixed up with my Dad's stuff. I never needed them on the road. But then that thing had a trunk the size of Texas.

Get some telescoping magnets, the kind that look like a pen, but extend to like two feet. They are like 2.99 at Harbor freight. Also a dentist tool kit works good, like the scrapers and stuff they use to clean your teeth. Again, 2.99 at Harbor Freight. The magnets kick *** though.
