Broken ATM. Blown turbo ftl. I dont carry much but a starter set or wrenches and a phillis and flat head screwdriver. I trust my car 100%. Of course i have eough tools in my box to take someone elses car apart in about 15 minutes.
Mechanics FTW. ( God i hate cars. -.-)

My car is currently not running, but when I was driving it (with a blown piston ring) I carried no tools with me, just a baggie of spare bulbs and the spare tire. I later realized that I didn't have the jack/hardware for the spare tire, making it kinda useless...
Maybe I should buy one.
edit: The best tool I always carry with is my AAA card.

Car is down now, but when she was my daily, I just carried a small set of tools with me, jumper cables, but nothing I do not have in any of my cars. If I were to go on long trips I would take a lot more tools, but I do not drive too far so I could always call one of my friends to go to my house and get whatever tools I will need for the job. And like topher said..."mechanics ftw" so if anyone breaks down around ct let me know as we could do almost anything you wanted/needed...

I carry a Phillips & a Flathead screw driver. Also a polished up four way tire iron. Thats it for me. Other than that I just rely on luck that nothing serious will happen to the G-Ride.
i carry a 4.7L Bottle of oil in the back, 1 bottle of Toyota Red Coolant, 1 Roll of Heater hose, 1 exacto knife, A phillips and a flathead screwdriver, and some basic wrenches and sockets with a breaker bar. i trust my car enough not to but it is always nice to be able to help out others broken down. It happened a couple of times already with the outcome being new friends and them promising to help out anyone they see on the road,even if its of slight inconvenience.
i carry around the lot.. socket set, spanner set, wire cutters, pliers, electrical tape, zip ties 
umm numerous 1/2" extensions and a 32mm spanner but the spanners less of a tool more for security

My car isn't running, but by choice.
When it did run, I never had tools with me.
The one and only time I ever had tools with me, I got a flat. I didn't have a spare.
lol

I don't carry tools because I do not trust the Supra. I carry them because I like to be prepared for most situations. I keep a cheap tool kit in one of those compact tool carriers, a blanket, jumper cables, flares, flashlight, can of fix-a-flat, etc. This has been standard travel equipment for all my cars.
And really the only thing you need to take apart the majority of the engine is a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, ratchet wrenches. Toyota was nice like that.

None of the above. Entropy gurantees that something will go wrong in a machines lifes. However, I carry nothing. This car is to reliable to need tools on board.
