What he said.

I only left the house ONCE without my tools, etc. and a cell phone. I was lucky that the carb float bowl hung open (from some debris that made its way past the crappy filter that was on the car at the time) only 2 blocks from my house. It was the dark clouds circling that had me frantic. What was supposed to be a simple five minute test and tune run ended up being close to 30 minutes of frantic work, ringing doorbells to borrow a phone, borrowing tools, etc. and race the storm. I made it back to my garage with about 3 minutes to spare. Now go through a "pre-flight" check on every run just to make sure I have the essentials. And the "complete" tool bag, bottle jack and portable jack stands never leave the trunk.
