Something just reminded me of this.
I have a personal thing that has been with me since I owned my first car that was a POS XC. I used to have to keep a workshop worth of tools, sprays, spares etc in the boot to make sure I was ready for its weekly "I'm going to break something new and die" episode. Since I got rid of it all those years ago I have had a thing about not having anything in my boot at all (sliding tool boxed do a sh!t load of damage!). So these days, apart from the std spare tyre and associated tools, I rarely have anything else in the boot. I still use the boot to carry stuff when I need to but nothing used to live in there permentantly. Just recently my Ford fold out chair has become a semi permenent addition however I still take it out when cleaning the car and put it in my study till I need it again. So, what lives in your boot??

Usually, a big stack of tools, mainly cause I have been somewhere to help someone and cbf to take em out, and apart from tools at the moment I have an a/c bracket from an AU, an AU tensioner, and EL ECU and an AU knock sensor , some power steering fluid, assorted parts of wiring looms, and the removable part of my tow bar.

The spare tyre, a jack (secured), a tyre iron and jumper leads all neatly packed away behind the jack.
I remember when I was driving a Datsun 1600 and had a big Sidchrome tool box in the boot, took a corner a little hard... BANG. Ooops. :
