My car is impeccably clean. The only thing I have in there is windshield washer , a box of tissues and dog leashes.
Thats it. My husbands car has everything in it. I’m so glad I have my own car. It’s clean on the outside also cause I power wash it. I also have a small vacuum for the inside.
 
My car isn't cluttered but, to be honest with you, I wouldn't call it "impeccably clean"...

covered dog bowl of water
2 Frisbee's for the dogs
beach towel
NC Map (why when there's GPS you ask? It's back-up for when I question GPS)
Post-it Note with grocery list on it
Lint roller, plastic dog bags, and Whisk broom in seat pocket
Coins in the console and a beach shell
2 Umbrellas in the doors
Retractable measuring tape (you just never know when you might need to measure something lol)
LCD flashlight
Pepper Spray (have had this for a decade and never have used it, thankfully)
Plastic grocery bag & cheap latex gloves for when I feel the urge to clean up beach debris or trash on the school track/soccer field

Here's Blu & Bella "in my car"...do you see them?...I took this with my iphone5 on a side road and no cars around...was going slow honest :rolleyes:

Well let’s see. A box of plastic bags, tote and freezer bags for shopping at Aldo’s.
An umbrella, a charge cord for our iPhones, a box of tissues. The console has too much stuff to recall.
Maps in the door panels, napkins from Mickey Ds. Usually a coffee cup. A USB cord to play my music through the car radio. I know there’s more, but I’ve basically covered it.
 
Under the back seat.....jumper cables, tow chain, jack & tire iron etc, heavy leather gloves, whisk broom, several bungi straps and a ratchet strap.

Black shows every speck of dirt but I always manage to keep my pickup looking pretty slick inside and out.

In both of our vehicles we have: First Aid Kit, Fire Extinguisher, a couple of road flares, jumper cables and two umbrellas. Since we very seldom use our old full-size Dodge truck, we only have Registration and Proof of Insurance card in it.

In our Durango, we have miscellaneous things in the center console compartment, including day and night clip-on sunglasses. Back seat: large map book and a couple of baseball caps for both of us. Love it when my wife wears her baseball cap...…..makes her look really "down home/country".
 
I just got a new car last week,so the only thing in there is a bag with a pair of shoes that my daughter gave me for my birthday that I need a half size larger. The store is an hour and a half away and I went to that mall last week and totally forgot to take them. So next trip I will at least have them with me...but will probably forget all about them lol.

On the other hand,the garage has two boxes full of "stuff" that I took out of my old car. Maps,umbrellas,blankets,all kinds of "stuff. Old car had a deep center console and some things in there were there from the day I bought it-14 years ago lol.

Oh wait-I do have a car seat in the back seat. My newest foster girl has a baby so her seat is in there. That will be temporary though-they are only staying til Mom turns 18,then will move to their own place. Oh and I also have my personalized license plates in there under a floor mat. Have to get to DMV with them because they are soooo faded and beat up I want to get new ones.
 
A box of Kleenex, registration and insurance in glove box, change, notepad and pen, plastic trash bag hooked around the gear shift and a few cd's.
 
Thank you Keesha. I was driving (slowly on a straight no-traffic side street) but couldn't resist taking the pic when I saw them enjoying the breeze. You can see in the lower left corner, a slight piece of Bella looking out the front window as Blu took over the back window lookout. I was surprised I even got them in the frame because my eyes were mostly on the phone and road. Don't judge me :laugh:

It's interesting how you can sometimes learn a little more about our friends just reading about what's in their cars...especially Mrs. Robinson's post, especially her last paragraph.
 
I keep a small basic set of tools, jumper cables, a small fire extinguisher, a can of "fix a flat", a couple of small flashlights, and some window cleaning supplies/ice scrapers in the car and truck.
 
Except for the side pockets and glove compartment -- nothing. The on-site car washing service is coming today to wash and vacuum our SUV, so I cleaned it out this morning. Just the usual canvas bags (plastic bags are banned here, thank goodness), squeegee, tire inflator, and a spare cardigan I keep for the days when I've forgotten to bring a jacket along.

I dislike letting junk or litter accumulate in my car.

Interesting. It makes sense. I didn't know that but I see they are specifically pinpointing single use plastic bags at the checkout. Aren't most plastic bags single use? It's been in effect for a year now. I wonder if they have any statistics as to whether it is helping the environment yet.
 
We keep it rather tidy. There is my cane, my husband's walker (he only uses it when we are out, uses his cane indoors) a grocery tote and a bag of bottles and cans I need to return for my deposit.

You're overthinking it :laugh: It means "right now", whether you're in out under or on it.
