What should you have in your trunk?
In both of my AMGs, I carry a Gorilla Wrench that I purchased from tirerack, I also purchased sockets with them. The gorilla wrench expands giving you more leverage for those tough lugbolts. I also have an air compressors in both cars, even though the E63 came with one. I also carry a torque wrench to torqueing lug bolts. I also recommend a pair of gloves because changing tires is a dirty job. Of course a first aid kit. I also have a small tool kit for both cars. A warning triangle is a must, a flashllight. Also a rain poncho, for those nasty days. I also have hand towels. Tirerack has a nice roadside kit that offers prety much everything you might need in a convenient package. And most important piece of gear is my Sig Sauer P220 for protection on those out of a state trips. Concealed carry comes in handy 
What else do you guys carry in your AMGs?

We think alike sir. I also used to live in Old Town. I was a regular at Chadwick's and Murphy's Irish Pub.
I carry torque wrench, air compressor, water, camp light for work on car at night, gloves, high-viz rain jacket, my combat boots in case I have to walk, ruck sack with extra first aid, rope, jumper cables, valve/stem tool, eye wash (for gas/liquid splashes), and my USP45:-)

But seriously, you have to be self sufficient on the roads these days. As most people are so caught up in their own lifes, they will not stop to help you. Unless your a beautiful women, which I'm not. Maybe, if I stand by the road, and pull up my pants leg someone will stop....LOL But after they see the heat, that I'm packing maybe not.........

I remember when I was a kid, if you broke down on the highway truckers would stop and help you. Well, it isn't that way anymore........sad. What ever happened to help thy neighbor or fellow traveler ?????

A pistol is a must too, for highway travel these days, broke down by the side of the road translates in to 95% victim.

LOL what happens when you get pulled over and they find an assault riffle in the trunk? I had three hand guns in the car once, they went NUTS!

I have an air compressor too, and microfiber towels/cleaning tools to detail it up if I'm caught waiting around somewhere.
Ha, not nearly as cool as some of the stuff you guys are packing.

A fifty
buck OBD2 scanner from harborfreight tools.
Handy when a code pops up and more likely to be used than the hand gun.
Although both can come in handy

I was feeling embarrased about my nitrous bottle and subwoofer and was getting nervous about if I really fit in on this board when I saw Yuillie36's post. Now I'm jealous that I don't have an AK in my trunk. I'll need to clear out all that other crap to make room - you know the tire iron, jumpers, etc... I never used any of that junk rolling around under that trunk liner anyhow, but if I had an automatic assault rifle - now that could really come in handy...
