Default What's in your Console?

So I'm wondering if most Vette owners are well organized,and the inside of your console is perfectly arranged,with a place for everything,and everything in it's place?
Or,on the other hand is it like mine,kind of like the automotive version of the household "junk drawer"?

A quick glance into mine reveals,among other things,some zip locks, a tire gauge,some rubber bands, a 4-way screwdriver with one of the tips missing, partial roll of electrical tape, a small paintbrush(for dusting out the A/C ducts), some nasal spray, my old shift ****, various torx tips and allen wrenches,some rolaids, gas reciepts, microfiber dusting cloth,a flashlight,a small crescent wrench,some Advil, and last but not least,my registration and proof of insurance(under everything else,where it's "safe")

That console doesn't really look like it holds that much,but as long as you keep the pile toward the center,it's amazing just how many useless items can accumulate in there.

So am I in the minority here,or does anyone else put pretty much anything they can fit into the console?
No real point to this thread,just curious...

Insurance, cell phone charger, gum, pen, and my lug nut key.

Interesting that a few of you have flashlights.. What are the practical uses that make this a popular item to have at hand?

I just put a motion alarm sensor in there so decided it was a good time to clean out. So, motion sensor, tire guage, pen, some vette business cards my wife made for me, a small screw driver and a Royal Crown bag for my gps or radar detector when not in use. Ohh almost forgot, a small hair brush....it's a Vert
