If you mean the center console:

Empty except for the V1 power adapter and the buried phone cord that runs to my V1 unit.

The glove box has the owners manual; insurance docs, sunglass case, and my seasonal waiver. I keep a clean, uncluttered Vette!

Precision tire pressure gauge, a power adapter to charge my iPhone and a bunch of other crap. Registration... I think that's about it.

Really Dave? I've driven mine in the cold crisp air and never felt the need for driving gloves (to keep my hands warm) but I'm guessing maybe that's a hold-over from the flying gig you have, ehh? Actually, I'm not very refined I guess... :o Never have gotten into driving gloves...



As for what is in my console...

Lets see, I have a tire pressure gage (btw, I'm going off of memory here, ok?) a package of gum, 32 "Magnum-sized condoms", car registration, garage door opener, maybe a few heartburn tablets, a small tube of KY-jelly and lastly, 67 cents in change!!

What? You guys don't put condoms and KY in yours?? Neither do I anymore since the other ones melted!!
























I'm kidding, they were just "standard guy" condoms...: jester

I can't carry anything electronic or any personal tools into the building I work in. I threw it in there when I took it off my belt the first day i reported to the shop and just never took it out. I could see it coming in handy sometime though...

I carried a note pad, pens, small flashlight, change holder, and a tire gauge. That was about all that would fit in there.
