What knife do you keep in the car?

Gerber lmf 2, that safety belt cutter thing that came with and a Gerber evo that I picked up at Walmart before I discovered YouTube knife reviews and blade forum. Now I have a new quality blade in the mail every week.
 
I found some cheap ass knife in a creek once and I keep that in my truck tucked up under the driver's side visor.
Let me go take a quick photo...
 
Rat 1 folder and a Benchmade ert rescue seatbelt cutter. Left the Rat in the console a few months ago and haven't taken it out yet, the ert was left intentionally.
 
In addition to my EDCs, I have a BK2, a BK3, a Kabar 1219C2, a pair of different sized beater multi-tools, a hacksaw, a 14" bolt cutter and a snake grabber in each vehicle. I also have a machete behind the seat in the truck. I carry a little more than a normal person due to having been an EMT/FF for 20+ years and tend to be over-prepared. I'm considering adding a BK9 to the bags.

All the cutting tools are stored in 4 digit combo-locked duffle bags that are also chained to either the spare tire bracket or an eye bolt I installed for the purpose. The snake catchers kinda float around loose. This eliminates the "grab it and run" type thefts at auto repair shops. They can cut the chain or cut the bag, but it will slow down or stop the "opportunistic thief".

At least I no longer haul around a 50# bag of high-angle rescue equipment, 40#s of FF gear and 80#s of SCUBA gear all the time
 
It's illegal to keep a knife in the car here, since a car is apparently legally considered "public property" so the police won't need a search warrant.
I just keep a rescue tool on my car key. And a multitool in the box thingy between the seats.
 
Stainless Mora along with some other odds and ends. Have only used it on a couple of occasions, but I was glad to have it.
 
Inside my pick-up truck, a Gerber Mk.1 boot knife on the side of the driver's door and a Camillus military pocket knife in the center console.
In my lockable tool box in the bed of the truck, Woodsman's Pal, Leatherman tool, and a Estwing axe.
 
In my truck I have a Fallkniven F1 and Spyderco Endura in the cab. In the toolbox, it's either an old Camillus-made Becker BK9 or an even older 9" model Swamp Rat--I haven't used it in a year or more and I don't recall which I put there. There's also a Leatherman multi of some description, a small hand axe and an old folding military entrenching tool tossed in there somewhere.
 
I have a "Gun Metal Blue" Honda Ridgeline and at the Oregon Knife Collector Show in Eugene, OR I found a Victorinox Camper, with almost the exact same colored scales and "Honda" on it for $5.00 and about new. It stays in the Ridgeline along with a Fiskars hatchet, a Cold Steel Shovel, and a Gerber Multi-Tool, which pretty much covers all bases. John
