Working on my Golf today, I realized that my trunk has gotten... out of hand. Here’s what it looks like:

Not having gone all the way down to the spare tire, here’s what I have in there:

A toolbox, fully stocked with more tools than I could ever hope to use fixing the car

A full sized beach towel, to stop dogs and drunk people from messing up the seats

Two hand towels, one for checking the oil, one for whatever

A roll of paper towels, for paper towel things

A bottle of 3-in-1 oil, for lubricating shift linkage

A tube of JB Weld, because duh

A traffic cone, so people don’t hit me when I work on my car in the street/in parking lots

Two large foam tiles, to lay on when I’m under the car

A floor jack

Two pieces of split log, for wheel chocks

A road flare/danger triangle kit

Ice scraper

Bentley manual, for repair guides

Haynes manual, for emergency TP

A head unit that I never installed

A machete

An extra pair of shoes

A quart of 10w40 full synthetic, unopened because I somehow do not leak oil

What do you have in your trunk?

I always keep the IS empty, cargo cover retracted . Don’t want to invite a smash and grab. Wife's car: McDonald's wrappers and coffee cups, I'm sure. Work truck: it's a real shit show in the canopy right now. Long bed: tarp, bungies, straps, rolled up.

Double false floor, with the spare, jack, various tools/things underneath the amps... and it’s impossible to get to with the new subbox ontop.

well, in the new car there’s nothing but the stock spare from 2001...

An emergency kit, a pair of gloves and a snow brush. I would not call my car prepared for a long expedition.

Haven’t seen them break lists yet... It should be hard to mess up , but they are a capable bunch.

I like to think the outward appearance of my car dissuades burglars.

Are... Are those ReDeads? I'm gerting the machete out.

It's for recreational use only (bushwhacking with scout friends). I can't keep it in my residence at school per my housing contract, so I just leave it in the car. Unsure if that's legal but whatever.

PLAY THE SUN’S SONG!  QUICK!

Weren't they only in Castle Town in OOT as adult Link? So permanent night, Sun Song would do nothing.

You could find them in a couple dungeons and other areas, including the tomb where you get the song, iirc.  Even with eternal night it would still freeze them temporarily.

Yeah, that sounds right. I haven't played that game in years. I miss L targeting.

L targeting!?  You monster!  Z-targeting is where it’s at! :-P

My trunk only contains the one thing yours seems to be missing - jumper cables.

Don’t need jumper cables if you can push start it.

In the Studebaker: so many things. It got stuffed full of garage stuff when I moved out of my old house months ago and has yet to be opened. I’m terrified of it.

In the Suburban: lots of house stuff, tools, 2 tool boxes, cargo straps, a hitch ball, a gun safe, a fully assembled and extremely dusty ceiling fan,  a road Atlas and a box of diapers.

In the GLI: a hiking carrier for the kiddo, coats and gloves. It’s a VW, so there should probably be more tools.
