3. I added it to my car emergency kit a while back. I recommend *everyone* have some on hand.

It's also awesome for plumbing emergencies around the house.

In my truck, I have a roll of that tape, a gallon of water, a quart of oil, a quart of ATF, a pack of fuses, jumper cables, road flare, first aid kit, flashlight, fire extinguisher, a hammer, screwdrivers, some wrenches, a pair of pliers, and and old wool army blanket in case you have to crawl up under the car. All the tools fit in an under-seat organizer, the fluids sit in a small rubbermaid tote in the bed, bungied to a corner.

I'm used to having old cars, too.
