a couple bottles of water and a few energy bars

air bags HAHAHA

A 12 volt portable air pump... It might get you home on a slow leaking nail in your tire type of flat.

You never know what you might need in case of an emergency. Make sure you keep the following items in your vehicle.

Fully charged cell phone

Pen or pencil and a pad of paper

Vehicle operating manual

Emergency service information

Signal flares

Instant plug for flat tires

Flashlight with extra batteries

Bottled drinking water

Preserved snacks

Blanket

Paper towels

Jumper cables

Warning triangles or reflectors

Engine coolant

Windshield wiper fluid

Tire pressure gauge

Ice scraper

Vehicle jack with flat board for soft surfaces

Tool kit including duct tape and heavy gloves

Umbrella

Everyone covered all the basics of what you would need. You might also want to consider some spare cash hidden away too. Because the day you run out of gas alongside the road is the day you won't have any money or credit cards on you. Also keep with you a list of emergency contact info if you are unfortunate enough to be hurt in a crash and can't talk. It can be a real pain for law enforcement and medical personnel to try to find your next-of-kin. Ohio recently set up that very thing through the BMV. It's available to authorities through your license information. Don't know about other states.

Jumper cables, reflective triangles, flashlight, bottled water, tire pressure gauge, a small fire extinguisher, and something in the trunk to lock your cellphone in so you won't run me off the road yacking on it.
