   Umbrella............................................looking under the hood in the rain
   Plastic tarp..................................to sit on the ground or cover a window
   Sunglasses
   Gallon or two distilled water
   Engine oil
   Brake fluid
   Transmission fluid (or clutch fluid)
   Tire changing equipment (lug wrench, jack, air pump)
   Electrical tape
   Jumper cables
   Cell phone charger
   Scissors
   Pot holder (under the hood gets hot)
   Work gloves
   Set of wrenches
   Needle nose pliers
   Replacement fuses
   Owner's manual
   Flashlight and batteries
   Laminated card with emergency contact numbers on it
   
   Also keep shoes in the car for at least one person who can walk to a gas station, even if you're on the way home from a dressy event. In cold weather, don't assume you won't need coats.
   
   Flares, possibly matches or flint and steel. These are getting out there....but I've survived several emergencies and can't avoid thinking this way. Also, you need a food resource appropriate for the passengers, as well as water.
   
   Paper and a pen and a marker.
   
   If I think of something else, I'll add it in comments.
