	There is usually a place under the hood next to the wiper motor.  I 
usually carry a quart of oil there, and in winter, the tire chains.  I would
recomend wrapping the stuff in an old towl and fastening it down somehow, as
I don't think you really want this stuff sliding into the wiper motor.  I 
would also recomend against putting highway flares and tools under there, 
unless wrapped against the elements.  It may not be the dryest place in the
world.
	Another trick: keep an old rag under the hood in an out of the way but
easily accesable place (I tuck it behind a battery cable where it attaches to 
the frame) for use when checking the oil.  Saves a lot on hankerchieves and
pant legs.
