In addition to what's already been said... flashlight. Always have one in the car, check the batteries.
Cash and credit cards don't hurt :P

I haven't had enough seat time in the 924S requiring 'saving your butt' Porsche tools, however returning from Toronto to Montreal with my Jetta required some roadside work. It's has a tendency to stress the wires running from the alternator, breaking connectors etc. As it is a turbo diesel once it's started it doesn't need power, except for the accessories. I drove it on the highway for 2 hours with a dead battery until I could get to a parts place, hauled out the toolbox that I always have in the trunk and fixed it in 30 mins. Comments from my friends were: "Wow, this is the first time I've seen somebody have the tools to fix their own car on the road."

alordofchaos, flashlights are great. Except the AZ summers have killed 3 of my flashlights!! And yes Sean, my luck has kind of sucked lately. Your three bags of tools make me jealous!!! I think you have enough in there to do everything short of dropping the engine.

The tool bags come from never having a solid home for more than three months, I have a roll away and compressor at "the home I'm never at," so they pretty much just sit in disarray full of all my standard tools I need for the Chevelle.
I just registered for my last academic term so I will be done and gragitated in December and will have an address for more than 3 months at a time.

Leatherman, ratcheting wrenches, tie wraps, spool of wire,
my brother! (assistants are awesome)
I've never been stranded by any of my cars. Two p-cars and an old Mercedes. Treat them right and they'll treat you right. The most valuable tool for me (except my bro) has been preventive maintenance.
