Default Roadside Emergency Tool Kit

What tools do you carry in your 944 for roadside "emergency" repairs?

Don't forget a pair of latex gloves... you never know when you'll be on your way to someplace nice. Like the time my wife and I were on our way to dinner and stopped to help a dude in his boxster with a flat tire (he'd had a few drinks and was afraid the cops would show up, so he wanted a ride -- but he wouldn't fit in the back of the turbo with the harness bar, so it was easier for me to change his tire in 10 minutes and send him on his way!) Anyway, the gloves came in handy.

A cell phone, the factory tool kit (including jack), a can of fix-a-flat, a Porsche electric air pump, and a spacesaver spare tire that doesn't fit over my brakes.

Oh, and a spare DME Relay.

I carry a basic set of tools including wrenches and sockets, a qt of oil, a gallon of coolant, tape, wire and wire nuts. If all else fails, there's always a pack of matches handy.

Unfortunately damn near enough tools to tear the entire motor down and rebuild it on the side of the road.

I also carry my full set of metric gear-wrenches...a quart of oil and a gallon of coolant.

Um...AAA card and my cell phone? . I do have jumper cables and chains (and some kneepads) in the wells behind the rear wheels.

Took the spare out because I don't have the compressor. I should at least throw a screwdriver and a leatherman or something in there, along with a flashlight. Oh yeah, and gloves, like Van said.

I tried putting chains on once in dress pants and decided "never again."
