What tools do you carry

or is the C6 so reliable it needs none. I carry a set of pucks, an air pump and a rag. Going to add midget jumper cables that fit in the rear box of my convertible. Other than that I have a cheap Harbor Freight pocket box cutter and my finger nails.

You?

Jacking pucks, spare fuses, small flash light, cell phone, Visa Card and my Glock 26.

There is little I'm going to do with my C6 on the side of the road, and even less I'm going to fix with a few hand tools, so I don't bother.

My 33 year old TA....now that's a different story, I always have a small tool bag with a ratchet set, a few extensions, metric wrenches, pliers, adjustable end wrench, flat and Phillips head screw drivers.....and of course, the same as above, less the pucks
