Subject:Traveling Tool Kit?

So I'm interested in what you keep in your "traveling toolkit".

Me:

* A set of old plug wires from the last tune-up. (If they were OK at the
time)
* A metric set of sockets and wrenches. With extra 10mm versions of each.
:-)
* Fuses (duh)
* A spool of 12 gauge wire. (This from my days of driving older Bay windows)
* A quart of oil, and a quart of pre-mixed coolant.
* Some misc lights.
* Fire Extinguisher!!
* An old sound blanket in case I have to crawl under the van.
* Fuel filter
* The usual road safety items, flares, jumper cables, etc.
* My trusty 12v air compressor

I have one kit that I transfer between different vehicles. If I'm going
Jeep'ing I'll swap a few things (I.E. SAE kit). But the basic kit remains
the same.

How about the rest of the group? Was there ever a time when you were "broke
down" and wished you'd had something?
