A silly discovery on my 94
I know this is a waste of a post but I had to share. I discovered today that the door arm rest pops open and has a little compartment
I will admit when I popped it open I would find a key fob or in the least jimmy hoffa's where abouts.

Nice find. How long have you had it?

I was probably just as suprised when I found them shortly after I bought mine. I usually stash a 20 dollar bill, spare pair of reading glasses and a razor knife in the driver's door. I don't care what the wife puts in hers though.

Amazing what you can find in the owners manual.

It's ok, my wife discovered it before I did. Maybe a few months after buying the car.
Maybe a year after owning the car I also discovered there is a thing you can pull out to cover the inside of the coupe. Have no idea what it's called. But it's there I guess!

Another member mentioned having the car for a year before discovering the cargo shade, which is also listed in the owners manual.

Go read your owners manual, might learn new thing.

Whether it's true or not I have heard of someone owning a ZR1 for years and only drove it in valet mode and had no clue of the feature. Now that's a whole different level!

Reading is fundamental. I GOT ONE after I bought the car but it wasn't at the top of my list which included new tires, FSM, coolant hoses, etc. in order to make it safely driveable. Sheesh.

I found the door storage compartment on my 94 by accident. I hit the door with my elbow and felt the pad lift up. I thought I knocked the pad loose from the door so when I got home I looked into it and found the pad was hinged and the storage compartment inside. I ran into the previous owner one day and I hit the hatch switch on the door panel to open the hatch and he looked at me and said "I didn't know that switch was there". He owned the car for two years.

Not sure when they stopped but my 91 has the hatch switch on both doors, my 93 only on drivers door.

they put in the armrest smuggling compartments on the last interior update 94-96. It was basically a way to get back some of the lost glove box storage space when they put in the passenger airbag in that spot.
I was hoping to find, drugs, $100 bills, or a firearm, but all I found was a gas receipt and a toothpick in mine.
