When your car's oil light comes on while you're out running errands the night before a flight it's a really lucky thing that the nearest place to pull over is actually the parking lot of a drugstore that happens to sell oil. It's even luckier if you have a Scott [1] of your own who happens to be on his way home and can do all the dirty work for you.* While you're waiting for your Scott to arrive it is also very lucky if you happen to have a Car Kit [2] with scissors so you can improvise a funnel out of a water bottle. It's also pretty cool that the kit also contains individual handi-wipes to clean the hands of your Scott after he's done saving the car. And then you can pick up dinner from your neighborhood Italian place before you head home. Seriously though, the car kit has saved the day a number of times since I've had it. It's always so cheerful to realize that you do have that flashlight/tire gauge/sunscreen/safety pin/breath mint/pliers that you need.
* (For the record I definitely can put oil in my own car but he really was only minutes away and what the hell, it likely saved my favorite jeans from a nasty oil stain.)
