weird things that are in your car

[carrie721]

do you keep weird things in your car that other people don't?

for a long time, i had a jar of spaghetti sauce under the driver's seat.

i also have this hanging on my rear view mirror:

well, i just have the thing on the right hanging there. i bought it off ebay for $3.

omg. this is an awesome thread.

in my car right now:

a leather jacket from Banana Republic, 4 empty water bottles, a Cinderella cup that once had juice in it, 3 empty Nature's Valley granola bar wrappers, a stuffed lamb, a case of water and trash galore.

EDIT: wait, I think I read your post wrong. I listed everything in my car. nothing exactly weird except the Cinderella cup! as far as keeping things in my car...for some reason, I'm OCD about having water or drinks in the back and a jacket...why? I don't know...

[mikeschmike]

Somehow this ziploc bag partially filled with green stuff got into my middle console. It must be oregano. :shrug: Other then that it's pretty normal. A jewel case or two, empty diet coke cans, and loose change.

[DrummerDeanna]

I am a neat freak. I get very weird if my car is dirty or messy - so actually no...

Wait..I do keep a deck of cards in my car at all times. Is that weird though?

I also have an "official" Club that my grandparents gave me when I got my first car. I never use it...don't know why I carry it. Yep..the cards, that's the weirdest thing I have in my car right now.

[Wild_Heart03]

I have a random picture of a dolphin that I won at the county fair last year.

Also, most VW Beetles made between 1998 and 2001 have tiny flower vases by the steering wheel. how's that for weird?

See that sexy styrofoam penguin? He normally rides in my back seat, strapped in. I had to take him out to fit stuff in the car for my last road trip. He's been enjoying the time off.

well, OFFICIALLY speaking I can't say what it is. I'll crack it open when I get home and let you know :laugh:

:lol: I LOVE **** like that.

A good friend of mine used to drive around with a cardboard Mel Gibson in her car, (this was years ago before he went completely bat ****) it was grand.

[carrie721]

besides myself?
and my hairless dog?

i actually keep a little garbage can in my car. I am one messy driver.

your hairless dog??

wait, i told you guys in the other thread I'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS VIDEO. :mad:

[carrie721]

whooooooooshhhh!:shrug:
[sound of jet plane flying over my head]

haha, no, something that stupid couldn't have gone over your head. it was just a stupid joke. :laugh:

other weird things i have in my car:

aprons from work
pay stubs
mugs (y'know, for beer)
the ticket from the stevie show i went to in 05.

[goldustsongbird]

the ticket from the stevie show i went to in 05.

Was that actually in f'ing 05????

[ontheEdgeof17]

-my work bag
-ice scrapers
-stevie cds
-my dead neighbor's body

[carrie721]

Was that actually in f'ing 05????

it was! that was over a year and a half ago. :eek:

[goldustsongbird]

it was! that was over a year and a half ago. :eek:

Dizzamn. I remember you talking about that... time, y u gotta move so fast?

[camchristo]

Pretty much nothing weird. I'm a neat freak about my car. So much so that my 4 year old niece told my mom that I drive her craaazy because I'm so fussy about my car. She actually used those words when my mom wouldn't let her eat in my car or put her feet on the glove box!

[danax6]

Well, there has been a computer monitor on my backseat for the past two months now. It's too heavy to carry inside and I keep forgetting to ask someone to carry it in for me. There's wrapping paper behind my driver's seat from when I had to quickly wrap a present before I went to a birthday bash a few weeks ago. There are also shoes under my seat, they've seriously been there for as long as I've had my car, which is close to three years now. They've actually started to mold a little. :eek: I keep telling myself to throw them out but then I forget again since they are not exactly in plain sight. There's a little plastic orange shirt hanging from my rearview mirror that has the text 'Hup, Holland, Hup' written on it, 'hup' meaning something like 'go'. It's a little thing I hung there during the World Championship Football last summer. In my glove compartment I have old mail going back three years or so, mostly bills that I took out of my mailbox before heading to work and just never brought up to my apartment anymore. And people wonder why I don't pay my bills on time. ;) That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure if I went downstairs and checked I could come up with a lot more stuff. I haven't even gotten to the trunk yet. :laugh:

[carrie721]

^omg, the trunk! i didn't even think of the trunk.

i used to have a gecko. the stand for the gecko tank is still in my trunk. i haven't had the damn gecko in a year and a half. :shrug:

[amber]

My car is invisible, but when they came to get it one midnight, I had my basketball and my razor scooter in the trunk. :laugh: Seriously, though, I'm bummed about the basketball. My dad got it for me, and it was a good one. You never know when you might need a basketball, a pickup game could arise at any moment...:shrug:
I didn't get the basketball out, cause they came to get it at midnight.

I think in the front I mostly kept junk and garbage and stuff.

The condoms are probably cooked.

[JazmenFlowers]

I knew I would forget something.

[strandinthewind]

I shudder to think what is on or has stained that lone towel :eek:

[rbs3676]

Hey Sparky, don't feel bad. I've got condoms, Purell and a spanish dictionary in my car. :thumbsup:

[danax6]

What? Condoms are considered 'weird' to keep in your car?

[JazmenFlowers]

Hey Sparky, don't feel bad. I've got condoms, Purell and a spanish dictionary in my car. :thumbsup:

*imagines various rendezvous of the past*

[BTFLCHLD]

dog hair and vomit :]

[michaelD]

A Motley Crue ticket stub from 2004 or 2005? Also, Goo Goo Doll ticket stub from 2002.
Lots of baby toys (I have a 10 month old son)
Crayons and coloring book for my 3 year old daughter
iPOD FM modulator

[sparky]

I shudder to think what is on or has stained that lone towel :eek:


I'm sure your towel makes it look like some kind of prayer cloth.:eek:

[seeker007nmss]

I'm sure your towel makes it look like some kind of prayer cloth.:eek:

"The shroud of Sparky" This week on History Channel - What is that shape stained into the towel? :eek:

[Livia]

Toy plastic baseball bat - for holding up the hatchback cuz both of those hydraulic thingies are shot.

That's probably the only weird thing. Spare change, CDs, portable CD player, tire pressure gauge, extra sunglasses...

And doesn't everyone have at least 20 strands of Mardi Gras beads hanging from their rear-view mirror? All year 'round? I do! :lol:

[seeker007nmss]

The weirdest thing in my car is a mini rubber chicken keyring. Its beak fits perfectly into the tiny button used to reset the clock. Which you have to do twice a year. :)

ok, that is the best thing that's been listed so far. i love it.

[Sarah]

here's everything. this is good exercise for my brain.. i'm having writers block issues at the moment (a little mindless forum trolling usually helps).

Glovebox:
Plastic baggies for dog treats (only way to get past the neighbor's dog without getting jumped and licked to death)
Owner stuff, service papers
Tire gauge
Flashlight

Consoles, storage space under stereo, door pockets:
the flashlight you shake for ten years instead of using batteries
2 straws
a nice bit of coquina - to keep a piece of st. augustine beach with me all the time :)
hand sanitizer, lotion, chapstick, contact lens solution, floss-picks, bic lighters, glass piece, and hotel room ashtray to hold roaches & clips (classy, i know already, shut up).
tropical twist Trident
advil, extra strength tylenol, & dayquil
hunting knife

Passenger seat:
Purse
Organizer
Jacket

Backseat:
Box of cleaning supplies - Armorall cleaning wipes, armorall glass wipes, 2 bottles of febreeze air effects, california mini-duster, roll of paper towels, cotton rag (i don't get irritated during traffic stops or lights if i grab a towel and start cleaning)
chococat umbrella (it's super cute)
pink vellux blanket (just in case)

trunk:
spare & jack
allen wrenches
chamois
extra oil
extra coolant

and my busted-ass disco ball hangs from my rearview. i've had it in every car i've driven since i turned 16. it's been through a lot. if i'm really irritated, i'll smack it hard so it bangs into the window, then i don't hurt my hand from punching the steeringwheel anymore! yay.

i wish you had asked this at a time when i'm roadtripping. i can live in my car for weeks, really.

[rbs3676]

Back in college, we found a small, ceramic hollow head in the back seat of my car. It was handpainted and was of a black man with a circa 1940's haircut and moustache. And inside of the head was a crumpled up piece of paper with a phone number on it. So, Zirko and I called the number...and it's an opener we still use today, twenty-five years later...
"Excuse me, but I found your number in a black man's head that was floating around in the back of my Volvo". :nod:

That's hilarious!

There's only 3 things I can think are slightly weird.... okay, 4...

A big red terrycloth robe (because of the below zero temps)
Big ugly knitted socks.
A gallon of applejuice. This was supposed to be for Sara's Valentines Party at school, that wound up getting canceled due to snow. It's still back there.

What a charmingly ghetto accessory.

Don't get pulled over! :lol:

[gldstwmn]

I just had my car detailed when it when in for it's scheduled maintenance. Right now there are just my CD's, a scraper/snow brush in the trunk, Kleenex, Armor All wipes and some extra washer fluid in case I run out.

[gldstwmn]

Hey Sparky, don't feel bad. I've got condoms, Purell and a spanish dictionary in my car. :thumbsup:

LMAO! :lol: :lol: :lol: Thank you, I needed that this morning.

[michelle2677]

o.k. JUST what I can think of

two birthday cards. one is late, one will be late wednesday
tennis racket with balls
2 baby presents
mcdonald's bags
a few pairs of tennis shoes (because...you never know when you need to make a run for it)
my ipod charger. Well, NOT the ipod charger. it came with two. the one that doesn't fit MY ipod is in my car. the one that actually fits is in the house
3 coach purses. (i think this has been covered)
my humane society t-shirt that I need to wash.
a bouquet from a wedding
my GIFT that I received for being IN the wedding
my bridesmaid dress.
and shoes
random receipts, paystubs, paperwork
earrings
pens
chapstick, lipstick, lotion, lighter, bobby pins, ponytail holders.


I'll stop now.

[michelle2677]

even though this thread is dead, I would like to say I cleaned my car sunday. It looks stunning. except the trunk. a picture is worth a thousand :shocked: 's....here

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/Michelle2677/other/christmas2006002.jpg


lets' see, there's season 1 of grey's anatomy, shoes, my humane society umbrella, tennis balls, tennis rackets, a few presents that haven't made it to their respectful owners :laugh: I think I see a hospital bill in there somewhere. and of course fvcking baby's r us bags from all the damn baby showers I've been too. oh...and coach purses :laugh:

[carrie721]

wow ... your trunk has more stuff than mine! that's never happened before ... :p

[bretonbanquet]

I can honestly say that my car is completely empty :D The sound of stuff shifting around as I slew round a corner drives me nuts :laugh:

[michelle2677]

Golden....

[catinthedark]

i love this thread! i missed it first time around - must have been the weekend i was away. i used to keep my car pristine. then i got my dog. :o

so weird things in my car... i guess the hors d'oeuvre spreading knife i lost in the trunk qualifies. i can hear it moving around when i turn corners - but damned if i can find it!

hand cream, lip balm, and anti-bacterial hand wipes. is that weird?

about 23 tennis balls. probably a couple of broken, chewed-up ones among them. a chuk-it. probably a beloved stick that just couldn't possibly be left behind at the park.

[gretchen]

My Beemer is pristine...the only stuff in there are my CD's in the visor, a North Face cable knit beenie, a pen my middle console and radar detector, pretty boring crap.
