I know this isn't one of the more pressing vette questions, but I've been curious how other C6 owners handle this situation ... Where do you store your quarters for parking meters and toll roads?

Silver-colored condiment cup just fits in the cupholder with the door closed. Easier to remove the change that way.

You can easily fit a few rolls of quarters in the delamination slit on most C6 roofs.

Lol ... now that is the most creative response yet.

Thanks for the large response everyone. I had to ask because since I've purchased my car I've found it odd that a power house of a car would possibly require it's owner to also own a purse.

I actually have a spare coin holder from a 1997 Grand Prix. Its a small rectangular box with sprint loaded slots for Quarters, Dimes and Nickels. I keep it loaded with change and put it in my arm rest compartment. You can get one from Fred Beans if you want to shell out $17.80.

All kidding aside, I know the problem. I bought a cup size coin holder at Target and it fits nicely in the cup holder on the console. It stores nickles, dimes and quarters and is small enough to allow the cover to close.
