What things are necessary to keep in your car?

I just had a big argument with my wife because her massive, expensive, doesn't-fold-up children's wagon thing she uses once a month had slight trouble fitting, and removed my entire box (6"x20"x36") of emergency items I like to keep in the car. The items are as follows

>10' Jumper Cables
>5' Jumper Cables
>50pc ratchet/wrench/screwdriver/pliers set
>6'x6' tarp
>box of nitrile gloves
>leather work gloves
>big roll of duct tape
>bag of assorted zip ties
>50' of 3/4" nylon rope
>folding shovel
>electric scissor jack
>four big 3" ratchet straps
>First Aid kit with wound dressings and basic meds
>Iodine tablets
>Beach towel
>set of basic junk clothes for each person in family

In her car she kept
>5' Jumper cables

Naturally each car has a factory spare tire kit (iron, spare, manual scissor jack)

I'm sure everyone here will agree with me that she should carry WAY more. Her excuse is "I'll just call Triple A :)" or "Some nice man will see me and help". Which, for someone who is usually extremely intelligent, is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

So I ask you /diy/: Am I being unreasonable? What things are the absolutely minimum you should carry in your trunk? If it were up to me, I'd have a much nicer med kit, a way better tool kit, a hydraulic trolley jack, jumpsuit, highviz vest, boots, freeze-dried food, fresh water, and maybe one or two other things.
