There are some essential things all Men should Keep in the Car. Even though men have far more going on then the days of their fathers, some things are still the same. If you take away all the gadgets and electronics of the day, you’ll be left with the same driving experience men have always had.
The times have changed but these items that men should keep in the car are timeless. All we doing is keeping you at your manliest.
What is it that Men should Keep in the Car and why is it so important?
cologne
The fact that this is top on the list defiantly doesn’t mean that its the most important, but it does mean that its the most forgotten. This is for sure a small item that is a must. I cant tell you how many times i wanted to add some more freshness just before getting out the car.
Many times we use our cologne at home. Then, drive to our destination with the windows down and by the time we are there we smelling like outdoor. (out doe in my Craig voice.) And knowing this we tend to over do it before we leave out the house, leaving us with something that’s too strong.
Simple way to avoid this is to put a small travel size bottle of your favorite cologne in the car. Or even next time you go shopping make sure to spend a couple extra dollars and get you a smaller version of what ever you buying. That way your not putting on two different types of cologne.
I have gotten to the point where I now just put it own after I get where I’m going since I know its in there
breath freshener
YO, this is something serious, of all the things men should keep in the car, you need this. A man breathe should not be stank at all. We have to always be the best representation of ourselves when communicating and if you burning up people’s eyes when you talk, it isn’t going to do it.
Like cologne, it doesn’t matter what kind, it is all person preference. What matters is that its in there. And not just sitting in there either, you need to use it and use it regularly. Your gum should be melted into the wrapping, looking old, looking like it would do worse to your mouth if you used it. Nooo, you should always have a fresh pack on ya.
tissue box
Now this one not a lot of men keep in the car, some do, but not many. It doesn’t have to be a huge box, they do make some that are perfect size for the car. Also that big pile of napkins sitting in your glove box from every fast-food place you ever been to isn’t going to work either.
I know we are not like the ladies constantly checking themselves out in the mirror, but you need to. Check your self make sure you done have a boogie with a hoodie hanging out your nose, because most people wont even tell you its there while your talking to them. They’ll just stare at it and not even hear what you are saying. So I’m saying fellas don’t take this lighlty.
lotion
This one is just like the cologne, men we get ashy, and dry skin is not only uncomfortable, but it lets people know you came a little unprepared. When you reach out to shake someone’s hand or you talk with your hands. Your knuckles shouldn’t look like you work a bakery, its not a good look my guy.
Usually soap or cologne sets comes with the perfect size for this need. Fellas, you don’t have to go around smelling like your girls favorite lotion because you don’t keep up with you own personal care.
I know theirs some guys right now smelling like some kind of ladies sexy summer Bed Bath and Bodyworks.
side of road emergency kit
Oh yeah, this is a must, we’re men this is what we should be prepared for, this comes with all our hunting and survival skills. The ladies highly expect us to have this. Now nothing is wrong with calling AAA to bail you out. It just looks so much better if you can do both.
These kits also comes with items that we wouldn’t ever think we need. But we do, like my kit also had a small jumper box that came with it and had to use it. Asking people for a jump is not only frustrating, but it shows some lack of preparedness.
here are Tips to JumpStart a Car in 5 minutes.
car wash kit
I’m sure many of us have this one, especially if you just got your car. But after them first few scratches and dents away it goes. Guys we spend a lot of our time traveling, locally in our area. Your car does become a representation of you. Now, I’m not saying its a judge of character or circumstance. But lets be real, people are going to judge you on your car and appearance while your out.
