I drive my Beetle alot, and it is about as finiky as they come, especially now that it's getting colder, the engine doesn't run good ( won't cold idle ) until it's up to temp, which takes a while now... I keep a cheap $10 ratchet set from Walmart in the trunk. screwdrivers in the center console, along with some wiring parts, extra points and condensor, Beetle fuses and light bulbs... Mainly if it's going to give issue, it will be the carb or the points.. I have had to stop on the side of the road and tweak ither or... I also have AAA, debit card, Credit card and sometimes cash..

I would also have to agree with Don on writing what parts your using for various cars.. right now with my hotrod, the only part from another vehicle I have gotten for it is the '94 S10 ZR2 rear end ( 8.5" 30 spline 10 bolt ).. so that is the first to go on my list.. When I built my turbo Falcon 6cyl, I had parts in that for many engines/ cars, including SBF ( lifters ), Ford Tempo ( pistons ) and the electronic distributor for a later model 6cyl Ford Fairmont, and the Spectre valve cover hold downs were listed for SBF, so I had a few left over
