Some of the answers might surprise you. Plus\u2014read on to shop our own Objects of Desire (above).\n\n\"I have a small post-card-size guide book in my glove box called \"Guide to Southern California Surf Spots,\" by Surfer's Magazine. It's 160 pages\u2014all of the great surf spots in Southern California that are real gems, from the pristine pointbreaks in Santa Barbara to the urban beaches of L.A. to some of the obscure reef breaks in San Diego. The guide goes through more of the unknown spots that you discover when you're searching for the perfect wave on a perfect day.\"\u2014Laurenz Schaffer, president of BMWGroup DesignworksUSA\n\n\"This is so obvious but I keep a pair of soft, low-cut calfskin gloves that I bought when I got my Porsche 356. And a pair of Pilot Ray-Ban sunglasses. To me, it's symbolic of a good drive\u2014the top down, the wind blowing\u2014now they all come with me.\"\u2014Michael Bartsch, vice president of Infiniti North America\n\n\"I keep a roll of drafting tape in my glove box, actually. It sounds strange, but I teach a course at the Art Center College of Design and one of the sessions involve looking at cars. I use the tape on the surfaces to show sections inside and out clearly to the students.\"\u2014Jae Min, the general manager of interior design testing for Audi\n\n\"Nothing. We spend so much time making sure the car is weighted properly and that there's no noise in the cab, why would I fill it with keys and coins, things that jangle around? I keep mine empty.\"\u2014Luc Donckerwolke, director of design for Bentley\n\nSkinCeuticals SPF 50 sunscreen, $34; skinceuticals.comChrome dial tire gauge, $9; autozone.comComme des Gar\u00E7ons wallet, $105; doverstreetmarket.comThree Jerks filet mignon beef jerky, $15; threejerksjerky.comMap of downtown San Francisco, $10; redmapguides.comHoudini jacket, $100; patagonia.comSawyer Jungle Juice insect repellent, $8; rei.comNitecore flashlight, $39; bhphotovideo.comBrunello Cucinelli wool pocket square, $160; 212-627-9202.Ursa Major face wipe, $24 for a box of 20; ursamajormen.comCrankbrothers multi-tool, $20; ems.comMophie powerstation XL charger, $130; mophie.comOtter Wax leather salve, $10; otterwax.comDashboard hula dancer, $10; myriahsbazaar .comPersol folding sunglasses, $380; sunglasshut.comNikon Aculon binoculars, $70; nikonsportoptics.com\n\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
