What's the point of keeping this in your trunk and taking it everywhere you go?

I went out and bought a rubbermaid container that fit in my trunk and would hold whatever I needed and some adhesive velcro. Prep the bottom of the container with rubbing alcohol and stick the velcro(hook side) to it. Size and shape will depend on what you want to store in it, I have all my car cleaning supplies, including microfiber towels, and some tools. I only put velcro on 3 sides so that I could lift up one side and pull the container towards me (so that back side does not have velcro on it) and it's pushed all the way to the back of the trunk so it stays out of the way. Now I have all my stuff stored in there and it doesn't slide around.
