Nothing. Can't drive any further than about 25 miles from home here. If I took long trips, perhaps I would carry something. It's always the tool you don't have that you wind up needing anyway.

Yes, I carry a small tool box in my Vette. I have a selection of wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets, pliers, etc. I tried to get the most common sizes of everything just in case I need them.

I ditched the run flats, so I carry a small bag with a can of TPS safe fix a flat, a tire repair kit, pliers and a mini air compressor. I got all of it, including the bag at Harbor Freight.

I carry tools/stuff in a C5 nylon logo bag as well. Inside I keep a Tire Repair kit/Slime, jumper cables, some adjustable wrenches, duct tape, a flashlight/batteries, an old sweatshirt, work gloves, an old, large beachtowel, cleaning supplies and microfiber towels. It all easily fits and barely takes up any space. It doesn't rattle or move around because I have an angled trunk partition that I shove it under. 
It may be overkill, however crap happens when you least expect it.

tool bag
I carry a small tool bag with detailing supplies, a quart of oil, various small hand tools, and a Conti Comfort kit (compressor). You never know when you'll need it, and it doesn't take up alot of space (compressor is in the storage compartment)

I have on of those Wal-Mart car tool kits I carry in all my vehicles. It includes the standard stuff, pliers, screwdrivers, sockets, but it is limited. And I have never needed it. Since I don't run "run-flats" I carry a can of Flat Fix, a plugging set, and a portable mini-compressor. It all fits easily under the large storage compartment in the trunk. Good Luck!!

The ironic thing is that I don't carry my tool bag around for MY car. LOL I carry it around for all the other cars that break down around me. You wouldn't believe how many cars I've fixed with that bag of tricks.
Good ol' Corvettes... What's there to fix?
