What's in your boot today?



I have:

four wheels
two bags of top soil
one bag of grass seed
one 12 pack diet pepsi
A new sprayer
One bag of groceries
a blanket (so that my wheels wouldn't get anything dirty)

And finally, me and Bailey (my english bulldog) up front.

I had one full to the top mini this morning!

The only thing in my boot today is an aftermarket 6 disc CD player that came with Tazmin when I bought her used. I now have an FM transmitter device that allows me to connect my iPhone to the radio, so the CD player is totally useless for me. And probably not anything anybody would want to buy. Anyway, you asked so I thought I'd answer.

AND ... as it turns out, this post means I'm now in THIRD GEAR!

torque wrench, pyrometer, foul weather gear, assortment of rags (dirty), and the blanket that hides it all and keeps the dog's copious hair under control...

Toolbox and torque wrench


Hi Vicki (and Bailey too),
Good question! Sounds like a fun, especially with photos. While I didn't have the seat backs folded down like you do, my boot contents are typically: soft tool box and a torque wrench (for the lug bolts) held in place by a flexible net. The tool box contains: compressor and hose, flat fix kit and pressurized can, MacGyver tape, tire pressure gauge, torx multi-tool, rubber gloves, zip ties, shop cloths, screwdriver, wrenches, flashlight, fuses, electrical tape and probably more stuff I've forgotten...
Rick

Shwag Road Side Kit
Shwag Blanket
Shwag Umbrella
North Face bag with shwag for my customers
RC Crawler and controller
very small REI folding stool (for watching kids soccer game on wet field)


"Sh-wag".n ; items used to schmooze clients to send you business, usually containing the company's logo. Often stolen by actual employees of the company. Most item are useless, but appear to be useful at first apprentice. Salespeople, or "shwager", using such items usually end up getting fired or quiting before such items are completed handed out. This leaves "shwager's" garage full of items for their own use or selling on ebay.
