There are things that are in our cars by default, if not we try to make sure they are always there. :-) whether we use them or not.
For me.
Inside:
Phone head set,
Tissue box,
Window SunBlocker,
Fragrance.
My Shades.
My Music.
Boot:
CarCover,
Chamois Leather,
WD40,
Fishing Tackle Box (I have a car box, never know when you feel like fishing)
Used to have a pair of Jogging shoes too. Took it out cause there was massive change in environment if left inside after use

Put down stuff you can't do without in your car.

I'm also interested - what are the original and xeroxed documents that NEED to be in the car?
I keep the following in the car:
Car perfume
CDs
Some change (in the ash tray)
A bottle of water
Cloth to wipe the car
Spare headlamp, first aid kit provided

I guess thats it - nothing unusual so far!

in the car just got me cd's like the inside uncluttered.

the boot is terribly cluttered with all my college books in it. I figure its easier to find something in a cluttered boot compared to a cluttered room
