What do you keep in the front trunk?

Contents of my front trunk:

*Factory tool kit (never used)
*My own tool kit (in a hard plastic box). Includes a basic ratchet/socket set in both 3/8" drive and 1/4" drive, a 1/2" drive breaker bar with socket to remove or tighten the wheel lug bolts (but no jack), a set of open/box end wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, crescant wrenches, vise grips, electrical circuit tester, spare bulbs and fuses, an emergency tire plug kit, shop rags, etc.
*Two bottles of inflate-a-tire. In case you are not aware of it, the factory bottle of inflate-a-tire is very old by now, and HORRENDOUSLY expensive to replace (like more than $200!). Keep the factory bottle for originality, don't use it.
*An old blanket
*My fabric car cover in its bag.
*A Ferrari-logo gym bag full of cleaning supplies
*A small electrical air compressor in its case.
*The bag to hold the cover for the targa top, in case the targa top ever is actually put in place.

 

I only keep one thing in my front trunk.....

Great list!

 

put a dirt devil in there too.....

 

lol! that was the compound from when it was painted...its good now...and unfortunately, I don't think a dirt devil would fit....

 

Beyond the factory supplied stuff, I have a medium sized gear bag with the following:

1) 5lb Halon fire extinguisher
2) 2 each Fix-a-flat" tire inflators.
3) Small bottle of Griot's Garage Speed Shine
4) Several microfiber cloths.
5) Surefire G2 Nitrolon flashlight
6) Pocket Leatherman tool
7) Spare AA batteries for FRS radio
8) Tiny first aid kit with a few bandaids and Tylenol

Other than the batteries and Speed shine, the rest of the stuff has never been used...and I have carried the same bag for 7 years through three different Ferraris I have owned. (knocking on wood)

 

I do not keep anything in my 348 trunk. But there is a Sony 10 stacker in there that someone fitted somewhere along the line. Thats the only thing in there.

 

fit a small lamb gyros rotisserie Pap, run off the cars 12v power supply

 

Seeing some of the great lists for front trunk kits made me wonder what minimal things that I could pack in there to cover most dead-on-the-road phenomena.

Why are cars on the side of the road?
#1 is clearly running out of gas. Whatever happened to Pennzoil's great Rescue Fuel (and no, the internet rumors that it was just kerosene aren't true)? http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/products/roadside_rescue.htm

#2 is probably a dead battery. There are small products for that: http://www.amazon.com/Start-Me-Up-Car-Battery-Charger/dp/B0006ZHKXE/sr=1-24/qid=1170049365/ref=sr_1_24/104-2120082-0973529?ie=UTF8&s=automotive

#3 I'd think would be a flat tire. Easy: http://www.amazon.com/Johnsens-High-Pressure-Quick-Applicator/dp/B0009G3CKK/sr=1-3/qid=1170049660/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/104-2120082-0973529?ie=UTF8&s=automotive

#4 might be a coolant hose giving way. Easy patch: http://www.autobarn.net/vicv302.html

With the above, plus an adjustable ratchet ( http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-FR28SWMP-Adjustable-Ratcheting-Socket/dp/B000EOFQVU ), a single pair of vice grips, a couple of spare fuses, a short length of electrical wire, hand-cranked flashlight (no batteries: http://www.amazon.com/Garrity-Power-Crank-Titanium-Silver/dp/B000FLESY8/sr=1-1/qid=1170045489/ref=sr_1_1/104-2120082-0973529?ie=UTF8&s=hi ), and a Leatherman, I'd bet that you'd be able to cover 80% of the most common roadside "emergencies."

Any thoughts on said matter?!

I can dig it!

 

My trunk is also getting soaked when it is raining. The only things I have in there is a spare alternator belt and the tools to change it.

The jack of course and the flat tire bottle. The funny thing is..........never thought of it getting old and useless. Got to keep it in the garage and buy a fresh one.

Still can´t load any pictures by the way..........just tried.

Rgds,

The trunk stays empty.

Why add weight to the vehicle? Unless I'm going far out of town...

 

You will never win a Concours event with a trunk like that !
Ditto for Pap's 348.

 

1. Original toolkit, heavily used, but very clean.
2. Lots of additional wrenches, sockets, alan keys etc.
3. Tire slime for punctures.
4. Electric inflator.
5. Car cover.
6. Original manuals.
7. 1 qt engine oil, 1 qt tranny oil.
8. Pep boys emergency kit which has booster cables, flares, and lots of other useful stuff.

It looks like something exploded in there with all that crap.

 

1. Fire Extinguisher (big one!)
2. Emergency Warning Triangle
3. Jemmy / Crowbar (been first at scene of accident twice and twice wasn't able to open door of smashed car to free occupant; Maybe me next time)
4. Fire Extinguisher. Actually, this should be secured and in the car with you
5. Gloves (stops burning your hand when you check the oil level)
6. Top-up bottle of engine oil (cheaper than buying at filling station)
7. Flashlight (you never break down during daytime)
8. Umbrella (you never break down when it's dry)
9. Tirefix
10. Did I mention Fire Extinguisher already?
11. Pen Knife in the car to cut seat belt if buckle mangled
12. Some rags or wipes for checking oil
+ Original toolkit for decoration

 

1. Tow Hook
2. Jim Beam
3a. Zippo lighter
3b. Jogging shoes.

In case of minor emergency, use #1.

In case of a moderate emergency, use #1 to open #2

In case of a severe emergency, install #3b while using #1 to open #2. Properly consume #2. Activate #3a, and discreetly run away.
