I've been carrying a bottle of distilled in my car due to my car leaking coolant, although it has not needed to be filled since I bought the part....of course.

A new kid at work had a 2013 F150 3.5 and was asking me if coolant was one of those things that needed to be topped off, as his car indicated that he needed coolant. I told him that I had a bottle of distilled and later on he asked me if he could have some. He put 3(!) liters in his car, I told him to put a little extra in because it was just going to leak out anyway.

Glad I had it, he lived an hour away from where we were working. Driving on low coolant, can you believe that? Low coolant alert is probably more fearsome than coolant temp high, at least you have some time to react.
 
I love the Trunk Monkey. I have two modes of stuff. Normally, there's a plug kit, big bore bicycle pump, water, two quarts of oil and assorted multi tool, zip ties, paracord and jumper cables.

When I'm traveling a long distance, I have a big plastic box that has a spare alternator, throttle body, serpentine belt, the old pulleys from the last swap, a meter, more water and oil, ratchet straps, granola bars, electrolyte chews and assorted bicycle spare parts since I almost always bring mountain bikes on vacation.

There's always a light jacket, gloves and other things in there as well since I use the truck to drive to mountain bike destinations all the time. I can almost always find a zip tie or gorilla tape or something to McGuyver someone's bike to save a ride.

I think he forgot lime and gloves. It's easy to leave fingerprints with duct tape.

I'm disappointed....
Where is the 2 pounds tub of Cajun seasoning?
...and the 1 pound tub of dark molasses?
...and the fisher's pair of pliers?
