Some tools, flashlights, first-aid kit, a small tarp, a quart of oil, a gallon of water, spare bulbs, a shop rag, gloves, a hard hat and vest, and my golf clubs because my wagon has more storage space than my apartment...

I keep a little card in my glovebox with a list of my credit cards and other things in my wallet. I don't list the account numbers, just the phone numbers I can contact should my wallet get lost. There are other ways for the credit card companies and banks to be able to identify you should you need to talk to them.

Move to a planet that doesn't have any wind or dirt or anything that can be considered as making your car dirty. Getting a different color on your car can reduce how much your car appears to be dirty. Black is horrible is shows every little piece of dust possible.

AS many what as possible? Dead people? Then you drive off in the night, cut them up, set them on fire, & watch them burn while you drink the beer? What is the deal with that equipment. (Maybe I have seen to many of those Saw movies).
