Cross Country Essentials

If you were planning to drive Cross Country in your civic, what essential things would you bring, or have your car hooked up with?

An extra belt, a full sized tire, a few quarts of oil, jumper cables.

The belt is the most important. You dont get to decide if the town you are in has the belt in stock. You also dont get to decide if your belt snaps at 3 on sunday and everything is closed. I would try to not travel on sunday if you could.

another driver.. lots of music and a good sound system.. a laptop with a dvd player (lol) hooked into an auxiliary input into your car's sound system... a small cooler full of drinks.. a good spare tire.. a cell phone.. tools you may need to do quick roadside repairs

at least, that's what i had when i drove from upstate NY to vegas.. i also had a GPS system on my laptop..
