5 Car Essentials

Ever since I got my new car after my big wreck back in February, I have been so conscious about how much time I’m spending in the car… That may be because my new car tells me how many hours I’ve spent in the car each week… But regardless, It’s a lot of time. I’m not saying it’s’ bad, because I love driving, and when you have a car you love, shouldn’t driving be something you enjoy? Sure. Anyways, over the years, I’ve learned there are just some things I have to have in my car.

Hand Sanitizer
Ever been pumping your gas and rubbed your hand along the pump and been greeted by a nice sticky mess? Yeah, that’s me just about every time I pump my gas. Between that and all the other possible messes, I don’t see how anyone can not carry hand sanitizer with them.
Tire Pressure Gauge
Now-a-days, most cars tell you when your tire pressure is even slightly below normal. But those number aren’t always right. When in doubt, pull out your tire pressure gauge, especially if you car does not have tire pressure sensors, you should always have one of these bad boys with you.
Napkins
I love Starbucks, and I love to drink my Starbucks on the way to work. More times than not, I spill. Whether it’s a $4 cup of coffee or water from my own refrigerator, I always spill. Napkins are imperative.
Coins
I can’t lie… Some days, I go through the Sonic Drive Thru just to get a medium water with lime and extra ice. Some may call me a Sonic-holic, but it is what it is. Most days, it costs me a whopping 47 cents, and I absolutely hate using a dollar bill to pay for it.
Deodorant
Laugh all you want, but how many times have you left the house and realized you forgot to put deodorant on? Maybe not every day, or even every week, but all it takes is one time to be super grossed out. I always grab the little travel size one and stick it in my middle console- problem solved!

What is something you just have to have in your car with you at all times?
