Default What Items Do You Store In The Console?

I keep my bean burritos in there so they are piping hot and ready to eat anytime.
Seriously, I'm afraid to store anything in that oven, the garage door remote doesn't even work if it has been in there.

wow really? i guess I got lucky with my vette-it's not even really hot when I get in it and it's black! BUT...I do live in a brick house, guess the garage is well-insulated or something I don't know-

oh! in the compartment:

garage door opener
altoids-cinammon
lip gloss-for stop lights of course, never while driving:)

I keep my garage door opener in mine. I also have some Kleenex, a power cord for the cell phone, and a digital tire pressure gage in it.

Altoids-Wintergreen
Tire Gauge-Dial style
House Keys

As for the those with a heat problem:

Mallett Cars (http://www.mallettcars.com/) --> product catalog--> exhaust--> other exhaust--> heat shield.

Kinda pricey, but if it works...

The heat inside my console is terrible. Something isn't right, I think I'll put the car up in the air and check it out. :confused:

The heat isn't in your console...You live in Mesa, AZ. :smash: :D :lol:

I have been in Mesa when it was easily over 100 degrees...at least it is a dry heat. :D :lol:

In all seriousness, the heat comes from the engine and transferred into the tunnel along the driveline in the tunnel and the heat shield that Mallett Cars offers solves this problem.

.
You're right, it is a very dry heat. If it wasn't for that dry heat, my piping hot bean burritos would be soggy. :lol:
Thanks for the tip. If the high temp inside the console is normal, I'll have to do something to cool it down. :crazy:
It sure is fun starting all over with a new Vette and having to mod or fix all the crap that would irritate the most I.D.G.A.S. owner. :lol:

Nickel plated .45, ammo, cheez wiz, and condoms.

Seriously I keep my registration, insurance, sunglasses, cell phone charger, headset mic for cellphone, and receipts from Gas stations.

My center console also gets very hot.

Now, there's an idea I hadn't thought of. But it makes some sense! :lol:

I've just been using my console for sunglasses, FRC radio, spare batteries, and loose change.
