I might have a problem! Can anyone top what I have in my hatchback's storage compartment with the spare tire?


First Aid Kit
12v air compressor
small socket set
spare headlight, parking and brake light bulbs
hitch ball moutn & pin
cheapo torque wrench + impact sockets
auto emergency kit (with the usual stuff)
Thule snow chains
tow strap
two ratchet straps
lined nitrile gloves
2l of water
tire slime (came with the compressor, only for a last resort!)
replacement bumper kits that I haven't installed yet
replacement serpentine belt.


Yes, it all fits under the board with the spare in place! There is also a small plastic shovel under the back seat.

Anyone got me beat? Anything I should add?

I have winter tires. So far so good. And I don't really need any of that stuff in the spare tire well. I don't go anywhere where I'm more than 2 minutes away from any sort of help...

They're also 3x the price I paid for the chains! I've also never had to use them and likely won't ever use them (fingers crossed!) They were an an end of season steal!

I'd rather leave it all in my car than in my way too small apartment! But we do regularly go places with absolutely no cell phone coverage so I figured I'd keep most of it there.

I had winter tires in Ottawa, but I haven't yet had to drive in snow yet this year. I think I may get all weather tires when my current set of all seasons wear out.
