Randy - what "other" uses for the towel are you talking about? Should I bring a FEW extras?
I used it to block the sun's glare off the front clam. After about 12 hours in the car, I used it to cushion my knee against the shifter housing. If you leave the car in the sun, it can be used to cover up the steering wheel, or used if you forgot to cover things like the shift knob.
In case of break down, it can be put on the ground to lay on. You can use it as a hotpad to work on something like the exhaust in an emergency. It can be torn into strips and used to tie up things.
When the A/C quits working, you can get some ice water and soak the towel in it and use it for cooling.
If you really needed to get some coffee... and because there is no cupholder, you spilled a little bit... use the towel to clean up.
It can be made into a little pillow for a tired passenger.
You can use it to carry stuff.
It can cushion or protect things inside the boot, or protect the inside of the boot.
If you forgot paper, you can use it to write on.
If your car gets caught in rain and then has to look nice, you can dry it off. If you get caught in the rain with no umbrella, you can use it to shield off the rain, or towel off afterwards.
If you are McGiver and you have a paperclip, a book of matches, and a D Cell flashlight... you will need a towel to make your escape.
Okay... I might have just made up that last one.
