- Ice/snow removing tools
- Floor mats (…yes, the link is a joke)
- Jack (if it doesn’t come with one)
- Emergency reflective signage (I think I legally must carry it on the highway?)
- Comprehensive maps of Hokkaido
- Antifreeze wiper fluid
- Engine oil
- Distilled water (if I have one of those refillable batteries… I don’t remember)
- Work gloves (in case I have to touch things under the hood)
- Air freshener
- Car adapter for my phone (so I can be lazy and use its built-in GPS)
- A Nohohon or a Flip Flap (there is a classy place for one on the passenger side dash)
- Tissues (in case someone is not-so-classy and makes a mess in my car)
I EVENTUALLY want a way to hook up my iPod, but I’m going to investigate the options first (one of which involves taking out the stereo and looking for aux jacks). Am I missing anything else for the winter?
