thanks again for the replies - especially Skye 👍
I will definitely keep the spring spacers, just not in the trunk 🙄
the white funnel is still in-place.
Not sure why it took this long to pay attention... but will seriously think about the "A.A." spare tire kit.
I do have a "welcome kit" - but...
thanks guys.
I'll toss the yellow blocks and consider that aftermarket spare tire kit.
FWIW, my car is "non-HP".
Does that "foam block" holding the tire inflation kit serve any other purpose? The shape seems pretty elaborate for simply holding a rectangular box...
I guess that I've been delinquent... and never paid attention to what was in the trunk 🙄 until today.
I knew that there was no spare or jack... figured there was a can of goop.
Today I took a look - and now hoping to find out what is what.

My Mach 1 is a weekend toy/cruiser kinda car (so far)...
And yet with the low usage - about 2300 miles for the spring '25 to spring '26 season - I was getting that same message for a couple of weeks in April this year before the oil change.

The "it's your car - do what you want" is probably the best answer. Of course, what "you want" is determined by your reasoning.

(fwiw) Years ago I was "lectured" by a rep at Dunlop about the damage that these various chemicals can cause to the tire's rubber compounds. I told the guy that the salt (etc) was a mess in the winter and that I needed something harsh to clean the tires. He told me to use Murphy's Oil Soap. I've...
