I just realized that I currently have the following in my van: assorted knives, screwdrivers. A mini-Hack Saw. Duct tape, electrical tape, speaker wire, bailing wire, Twine. McDonalds cups with dangerous substances. towels splattered in red rubbing compound. numerous metal objects in various stages of decay.
Granted that I'm just a girl & that I drive a wee little Subaru station wagon, but I always have the following in my car: Nylon twine, bailing wire, paper towels, roll of plastic garbage bags, shovel, wire cutters, stainless steel hose clamps, bungee cords, bungee cords with balls, latex gloves and probably a couple/ three other suspicious items that I've forgotten about. But no duct tape & that's only cause I hate the way the edges of the roll get sticky & because I figure at least 50% of the other cars rolling down the highway do come equipped with duct tape...
LOL! I once was stopped by the police and had to open my trunk to get my purse (can't remember why it was in the trunk). I had a shovel and a bag of cement in there! The officer really perked up and was asking me about the stuff in my trunk. I think he thought he was on a routine traffic stop & hit the jackpot.
