What do you regularly store in your car?
I have my detector, cargo net, wheel lock, four jack pucks, and fuel filler adapter that came with the car.

in cargo net: CB radio for club trips, North Face jacket & fleece, hats, bug spray.
In trunk: folding bucket & rags for bug washing on trips.
Work gloves for removing tinted top- no slipping, no burned fingers, no fingerprints.
In C6 pouches behind the seats: big flashlight & maps, ball caps.
In glove box: manuals & related materials.
In console: change, red light camera GPS.
In cubby: battery operated "flares", tire inflator pump, bungees, pucks, small tool kit.
Kevin- sidearm stays attached to my body at all times except when going into prohibited area.

I carry all of the above plus a tire plug kit, 12-volt compressor, wheel lug extenders (because I have carbon brakes) a yellow reflective safety vest, a couple of road flares and a tow hook. All fit in the little rear compartment except for the net, which is a strong collision-worthy one (Gladiator) that I leave installed.

"Store" is an interesting term in this context. I don't "store" anything in the C7 (nor in my C5). I've got a large garage and two sheds for that stuff.
GM options like cargo cover and net are not things I'd consider as fitting into the category as you seem to operationalize it. However, I do carry a small air-compressor, tire repair kit, and tire gauge, along with a jacket and gloves. That's it.
I've thought about tossing in my jacking pucks but have a hard time imagining the need unless I'm going on the road, perhaps. One could carry all sorts of "emergency" items like took kit, first-aid kit, road reflectors, jumper cables, battery tender, small aluminum jack, etc. etc. But, at some point it would be easier to just take my pick-up with all that stuff already in it!!!

Uniden R3 radar detector, tire pump, water, first aid kit, tire gauge, jack pucks, motor oil, a few detail items. If I could carry only one thing it would be the radar detector. You have to keep your priorities straight.

A good digital tire gauge, a Leatherman tool, diabetic candies. They stay with the car anything else in there goes in as needed for that trip.
