I have a plastic tool box that fits in the center compartment that I put a bunch of wrenches, sockets, pliers, etc in. Since I use non-runflat tires on the car, I also carry a portable air compressor, flashlight and plug kit. A few rags go in there also. And just in case, I have emergency towing on my insurance and a cell phone.

In the center rear storage compartment I carry 2 clean cotton towels, diluted Zaino car wash in a small spray bottle along with a bottle of Z6 and Z2 for quick cleanup from birds, etc. Can you tell I own a garage queen?!? 
A fire extinguisher is available too. I always have my cell phone and a credit card to get me through anything else.

Don't forget a good set of torx screwdrivers. Sears has a universal screwdriver with about 20 different torx heads. You won't get far on the interior without one.
A fire extinguisher, mini flashlight, zip ties, pipe clamps, basic tools, stereo emergency kit (wire,fuses) and some basic detailing items make up my kit.

A bottle of Zaino Z6 and some microfiber towels. Emergency roadside assistance from my insurance company. Anything worse than that I don't want to be doing on the side of the road. Especially at night.
except I do have a flashlight. Not sure it works though.

On trips I carry a soft sided lug nut socket and torque wrench.
