Timekill: What kind of junk do you keep in the center console?

i have an ipod nano in here with headphones and the aux cord that connects it to the car's audio.

I try to keep my prius pretty clean.. no random bits of paper, etc. There's three mexican blankets in the back, which is probably the strangest thing I have.

That's where I keep the tissue box. Otherwise, the rest of the console has some pens and pencils and a pair of examination gloves just in case I need them. On trips I keep my wallet and cell phone in there, but not for everyday driving.

Digital camera, tape recorder, pens, gum, small flashlight, parking-meter coin holder, toothpick holder, keys to places I need to go every once in a while, etc.

 

Swiffer duster for tidying up at red lights - great for a laugh from other drivers/passengers.
Stuffed "Fiona" doll from the Shrek movies - so ugly it would scare small children.
Connector cord for my iPod.

 

Typically. . . .
On the shelf: Spare change, drivers license, Work ID.
Under the shelf: A ziplock bag full of aluminum can tabs.
In front of the shelf: A stack of paper napkins
In the covered cupholder: My cell phone
In the fold down cupholder: a 42oz unsweetened iced tea with lemon
The pull out drawer is empty
The 2 rear cupholders occasionally hold bottled water, but lately have been empty.

 

Chocolate wrappers in the cupholders.

mp3 player, batteries, random pieces of paper, perfume bottle gotten as a gift (never used), hair clip, coins, a dead orange butterfly.

 

Drawer - Microfiber towel to keep display clean and touch-up interior
Cupholders - PDA when being used to play MP3's and a refreshing beverage
Console - Pens in tray, Aux input cord, PDA when not in use.

Car is still too new for me to clutter.

 

• one of those porno magazines
• large box of condoms
• a bottle of Old Harper
• a couple of those panty shields
• some illegal fireworks
• and one of those disposable enemas.

:blink:

 

I bought a few plastic containers at Staples (4"x4") to use as dividers. Works great to keep things organized. Also a 2x2 to keep coins.

Junk in my center console: Sound Meter, dual-mode thermometer (remote unit is in hatch box to keep track of how hot the amp gets), charge cables/adapters, pen/pencil to write notes on gas receipts, CD/DVDs, GPS when not in use).

BTW, I'm looking for a combined compass+thermo/baro/altimeter for the car. Does such a device exist? Iknow there are watches with those functions, but I don't wear watches. Any info would be appreciated.

 

Browning Hi-Power Mk.III 9 mm and two full magazines:

Hey, That is exactly what I keep in my center console. I even have room for a couple cans of Mace!

As they use to tell me in the Boy Scouts - Be Prepared!!!

I'd suggest pepper spray as a more effective (and legal in most jurisdictions) alternative to Mace. ; -}

Also, I think it's a felony to carry concealed in CA. Of course we're just having fun here, but just in case anyone takes your post seriously...

 

I keep a square box of Kleenex in my hidden drawer.
When commuting, I keep my travel coffee mug in the main cupholder.
Generally keep bottled waters in the door pockets.
In the main console, I keep my magnetic sunglasses clip-ons (also keep a proper pair of sunglasses in the overhead bin for when I'm wearing my contacts) in the shelf along with some random change and Tic Tacs, and down below I have a bag of scotch mints, my car charger for my PocketPC and my line filter filtering my XM receiver to the Aux-in. B)

I probably have a few other straggling items in there as well, but that's the gist of it.

 

Extra binky, hot wheel cars, plastic dinosaurs, fake bugs, assorted rocks and sticks.
I have a toddler and an infant in the back seats!

 

Hidden drawer: packets of hand wipes, box of tissues, microfiber cloth for dash/MFD/inside of windshield.
Console: Tray has my cell phone and my [corded] earpiece.
Underneath has a short hairbrush, and the charger for my cellphone. I think my camera case is in there, too.

The serious mess is the lower glovebox! My Dear Hubby uses it as the stash-all (I found a Vegan Chocolate cookie in there!!)

 

OMG ... its full of stars!...
