What’s In Your Trunk?

Aside from the usual junk in your trunk (namely, the spare wheel, the jack, and tools), what other items are there that you simply need? Here is a list of some things (conventional and not) that are found in the typical car trunk:

1. Water – Lots of it. You never know when you or your car will suddenly get thirsty especially on the highway.

2. Flashlights and batteries – Don’t have any triangles in handy? Perhaps a few lights will help you. Emergency beacons or regular flashlights can be placed on the road to warn other cars that you are on the side for repairs. The batteries, of course, are self-explanatory.

3. Phone charger – Yes, you might have one in the glove compartment, but imagine if it simply just wasn’t there? Keep an extra in the trunk to make emergency calls.

4. Junk food – Waiting for the Triple A service to get to you and you’re hungry? Make sure to stack up on a few munchies so that you don’t starve.

5. Radio – The last thing you need is to use up your car battery listening to music. Store a separate music player or radio in the trunk so that you save up on battery juice and you don’t faint with boredom.
