Only accessory I ever need is my hand-held tuner, and that's only in case I'm running low on gas and can't find a station that sells quality 93 octane. Other than that my car is, and always will be, pretty empty. Less weight = for faster :D

For billions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your Mum and Dads side, successfully looked after and passed onto you life. What are the chances of that like?

Lockcode027: Just wondering what would be your top ten car accessories (must haves) and why?.
it's all your opinion so anything is fair game
Mine would have to be..

1. Radar Detector (it's nice to know where the five 0 is)
2. GPS Sat Nav (Real handing if you don't don't where your going)
3. No Vac Deodorizer (To keep Car smelling Clean and free of Bad odors)
4. Portable Jump Starter (handy if you get a flat battery out the middle of no where. Also charges small portage devices EG: gps, mp3 players,mobile phones)
5. Tow rope (in case you get stuck)
6. First Aid kit (we all know what they are for a boo boo)
7. Car jack (in case you get a flat)
8. And the tools to get a Tire off
9. floor mats
10. Rechargeable Touch.
