That's cool... looks like the one that came in the G. That one has cool velcro grips on the back, so you can stick it to the side walls in the trunk anywhere you want.

Seriously... using latex gloves have saved my hands from a lot of abuse... not to mention a lot less cleanup time.

The first aid kit is awesome.

I really don't like wearing rubber gloves while working on cars. I've used the very durable Black Lightning disposable mechanic gloves before and they just get uncomfortable, especially in sweaty/hot conditions. I can't see normal latex gloves lasting long before getting torn or cut. Would be kind of nice for those still-hot oil changes, though. Every time I think "I can snatch the drain plug before I get too much oil on my hand." You'd think at some point I'd learn my lesson.

I went through a box or so doing the injector job. At $2.99/box on sale, that's not bad. They get a little hot, but really aren't bad. I have saved more than one major cut by the glove getting caught on something instead of skin. Either way it's a personal preference thing. The biggest issue I have is that they will swell and fall apart if they come into contact with gasoline or brake parts cleaners, so I have to remember to switch to the nitrile ones in those cases.
