I've been known to keep gloves in there on cold days :P

Have an emergency hammer in the drivers door. My dad would always have one in the centre console and for the sake of a few euro it could save your life. I know a fella who owns a garage who was driven into howth harbour recently by some maniac on a test drive, he had to kick the windows out to escape. Wouldnt work in every car.

The ashtray is currently in there as well, I dont smoke so took it from its usally spot so there was more space in the cubby hole beneath the dash.

Never see the point in leaving the ice scrapper in the car. Sometimes you need to scrap snow/ice from the door to get into it.

To confirm the car is road worthy, costs €100 to €150

Add in two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls and you're Raoul Duke

If anyone wants a collection of various religious paraphernalia, I cleared various bits out of glovebox when I bought the car? Padre Pio is staying on the back window tho, think the structural integrity depends on on him...

Nothing in the glove box.
Armrest with storage is where i leave my junk. Easier to reach.

star-pants

Glove compartment contains at the moment:
Handy torch
AA Map book
Packet of wipes
Couple of CDs
Bag of change
Gloves

I've other stuff in other parts of the car too.

dr.fuzzenstein

The usual, car manuals, tissues, ice scraper, etc...
But one thing to me stands out.
I have never removed the locknut for the alloys from the glovebox.
If you leave it at home and something happens that requires you to remove the wheel (puncture, accident, etc...) you're stuffed if you don't have it.
And NO ONE is going to remember to take the nut out of the car with them every time and if they do, the one time they'll forget it, they'll have a puncture, I guarantee it.

antomorro-sei

Sunglasses and my Oasis collection
