I'm not sure about anyone else here, but I keep an emergency camera in the car, just in case... 
As luck would have it, an old Canon EOS 20D will just about fit into my car's centre console  I also keep two old lenses in the boot (Canon EF 35-105mm with massive scratch on the front and a Nikkor-N.C. 50/1.4 beater purchased on here, with more scratches to the front and rear than visible coating
Today I wanted to take some shots whilst out and about on a walk, so I pulled on the combo to see what it could do:
f/8
f/1.4 - just for fun but forgot the maximum shutter speed of the 20D is 1/4000 second
f/4
The old Canon lens is very good as well, but I might purchase a beaten up 28mm to sit in the car as well.
Does anyone else have an emergency kit, if so show us some images!

I don't own a car any more but I do have a Canon 300D that I take to places I wouldn't take my 7D to.
At the moment it has my Optomax 135/2.8 on the front of it. When I take it out it's in a scruffy bag alongside a Domiplan I was given by another member. I've actually got some decent shots from that combination, not that I can find any right now...

Try the 35-105 (with a hood); it's a lens I use quite a bit. The only flaw is the contrast can be a bit low, but it is a sleeper. i like it so much I have 2.

What a great idea!
I have this XTi (400d?) on my desk right now. I use it to shoot my ...shooting setup (most of the time my t2i on a tripod and some stupid macro setup).
This camera is going in my car tomorow morning!
So many time all I had with me was my cellphone!
What focal length do you find most usefull?
I got 2 50mm f1.4 lens that I'm using very little since I got my Zeiss, they could be revived that way.
Edit :
There's an Industar 50-2 on my desk right next to it... it's very small... Should be a nice setup on the go!
