Yeah! Screw those drivers! Sons of bitches the lot of them. Can't stand drivers.
Those BMW drivers are the worst, screw them! Oh wait, I might have got this all wrong.
You probably meant screwdrivers

Seriously though, I carry an electric airpump thing that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Also one of those aerosol cans of foam, although having RFTs I don't expect I'm going to need that. The airpump probably not either. I just transferred both across from my previous car that didn't have RFTs.
