I'd add some sort of high powered flash light that can be set down and angled where you need the light and a plastic sheet (some have suggested a shower curtain) to lay kneel or sit on and maybe some Wet Towels to clean up. While I own a Z too many folks make it sound so easy to deal with a flat tire on these cars. I did add the LTPS to give me some warning should I pick up a nail. I know the goop will ruin the sensor but my plan is to air it up and drive as far as I can go before I have to stop again in a more safe location before attempting a roadside repair. The sensors will allow me to do that.

So I do carry a cell phone and have membership in AAA. Of course I'm not sure where they will tow me on a late Sat night that can repair a vette tire. But I can always dream.

Let's hope none of us ever have to deal with a flat on a dark cold rainy night miles from civilization.
