this is just a fun little poll I thought I would ask (Am I addicted to my max if I care more about this than the election?)

We all have that little storage area under radio (you know that one that is too small for anything useful, but in a great location). What do you use it for???

I buy a ton of gum and keep it in there... anybody got any strange or interesting uses for it?

My pocket

I put dollar bills from the drive-thru in there, a plastic toy turtle, coupons, my RCA patch cords from the back of my head unit and into the pocket after I bored a little hole. I ocasionally hook up the Mini Disc player and store it in the pocket. Nothing really weird. I also put gum and altoids in. I used to put cd jewel cases in there, but I bought a cd holder that fits under my single din head unit.

Heh. Reminds of that SNL skit with the salesguy that keeps going, "and look- you can hide your weed in here!" Slacker that sold me mine didn't even bother to point that feature out!

I use it for my electronic tire gauge and gum

like someone stated before, also pens. I always thought itd be nice to put a nice size eq in there, drill holes in the back and run the wires through the back. but havent done that yet and prolly wont. Oh yeah I have an 88 max nad we have that same storage area.

Sunglasses and a pen for me. No other car that I've looked at or driven had such great storage for my stuff (CD's, phone, glasses, etc.) Nissan did a good job.

I've never put anything into it once. I'd rather have gauges there.

Works great for stashing a radar detector too. Mine slipped in perfect. I use it most of the time for sunglasses.

Lets see; cd remote, gum, cell, money, any other cds that wont fit above, and extra jimmys. Now I converted the hold to have a switch box with four switches for the system, foglights, trunk lights, and I'm saving the last for nitrous hopefully. Oh yeah and I usually keep the drugs in the hold under the stick shift cover, works great been searched many times and always holds up.

Custom Panel

Don't got any pics since I don't have a camera or scanner, but see if you can picture this-

Pop down the cover and it reveals a reccessed flat black panel with four metal switches with red lights on the ends. I got the amp, foglights and a trunk strobe hooked up. Makes the car like something out of KnightRider, appreciate it if your an electronics geek. Purtty lights.

When I'm not in the car >>

it's empty...don't want to invite someone to smash a window...for those who live in big cities...you'd understand. When I'm present, my wallet and cell phone fit perfectly.

hmm

Well when I got my car about a year ago, my girlfriend and her friends had to make fun of my love for it. When i pulled up at her house 3 girls ran out and covered my car in rosepedals trying to be funny. I collected them and threw them in there for good luck, I havnt hit anything yet so I guess i'll keep them in there

I put...

local and state maps, and a tire gauge. I tried to put CDs in there and couldn't close the door. ['96 Max] Sunglasses would be good. I'd like to see a EQ or gauges in there too!

Funny you should ask...

I have a fake flower sitting in there (not sure what kind - some old lady gave it to me one day while I was out - wierd I know) and I use a pencil to change my radio stations that I keep in there. For me the car was not ergonomically designed for my arms to comfortable reach the stereo & I get uncomfortable reaching forward so I use a pencil...Am I the only one who does this?
