Things you should keep in you car

A friend of mine is buying a car. As a new driver and car owner she wanted to know what and what you need to have in your car. You know the basics. The question was presented to our daily forum and quite a bit of suggestions were put forward.

1. PHOTOCOPIES of your car papers. Make sure you keep the originals in a safe place at home!!!!!
   
2. Toilet paper/paper towels
3. Spare tire that is checked every weekend
4. Tools to change tires (don't know) I think lug too and jack and.........
5. Jumper cables
   
6. 1 bottle of Coolant
7. 1 bottle of Engine oil (Remember to check these, 5 &6, every morning especially if the car is not new)
   
8. wipes :)
9. Some form of defensive weapon (mace, a bat, a piece of board, if u brave enough a house knife- make sure it smell like orange so u can tel the po-pos (Police) that u just use it to peel one or a 1/2 'las -don't know how you would explain that one to the police)
10. Some sort of recording device so when the po-pos pull u over they can't tell any lies on you if i don't want to run no money- This is Jamaica honey!!!!!!
11. Coins/change to give the little "wiper boys/beggars" on the street cause u have a big heart or b/c u don't want them to spit on or mash up your car
    
12. Sun visor- Car will still be hot as a bitch but u know....
13. An extra pair of shoes. Depends on the type of job you do. If you have one where you have to do a lot of walking e.g. sales, then a flat pair would do for the outdoors and your heels for in office.
14. Anti- theft device that can be affixed to your gear stick or steering wheel
15. Fix a flat. This is good for people like myself who don't know how to change a tire even though I've seen it done a million times. This is a can of foam that you can spray into your tires in case you get a flat and cant change it right away. It keeps it inflated for a few hours, just in case you get a flat in a bad neighborhood. (I don't know if Jamdown sell that but it would be nice)
    
16. A disposable camera. Just in case you get in an accident you can have evidence.
    
17. And last but not least tampons/sanitary napkins. Blood on clothes is not cool!!!!!

Thats the list that we came up with. Hope it helps. For more info you can check this out.
