What's In Your Car Right Now ?

.

My autistic son always sat in the same place in the back seat.
Since his sudden death, I keep extra flowers and other items
in the back seat that I use to decorate his grave.
 

Trunk,blue windshield stuff,1 windshield wiper,the rear passenger headrest,fabric softener, aldi bags,my winter jacket,some armor all.
Glove box has my car manual,service records,insurance card and reg,pens,straws...
There's a roll of paper towels in the backseat.
 
Someone has THIS in their car!

Nothing is in my car except the owner's manual, insurance card, and registration.

I have strict rules about my car because my husband's car is a travelling landfill.

No one is permitted to eat, drink (except water), smoke, or leave anything in my car. My kids drive it, too -- except for my daughter, who takes after my husband. Penalty for misuse is that the person is banned from driving my car.

If I am not strict about these rules, everything will go to pot. Luckily, my one son who drives it the most is a big believer in clean cars.
 
2 swim noodles, 2 cushions, jumper cables, a bit of rope and some reusable grocery bags. And I need to empty the litter bin. Maps in the door pocket. CDs in the other door pocket.
 
A pair of dollar store reading glasses & probably a used tissue or so, spare cane & cheap grabber. We have such a bad problem with car break ins & thefts in my city that folks are crazy to leave anything in the car, especially not papers with id info. I just always have them with me when I drive. I also leave the glove compartment & console open so the crooks can see there isn't anything there. Was rifled a few years ago before I started doing this, for an old umbrella & a tin of breath mints.

We're actively discouraged from keeping Car papers (insurance etc) in our cars ( most people don't) , we don't even have to carry our driving licence with us although most people do , if we're stopped by the police we have 7 days to produce the paperwork at the police station.

In Spain it's exactly the opposite... paperwork must be in the car at all times, I always thought that it's a crazy idea..
 
I keep my car relatively clean and tidy.

There is always 1 car seat in the back, because I take one of my young granddaughters to her preschool Mon, Wed and Fri. Sometimes there's booster seat too, for when I take two of my younger grandkids for an outing.

Other than that, there are some things I keep in my car routinely. A cardigan (I am in and out of client's homes, and sometimes I freeze!!) In the doors, or the console on the dash I keep sunglasses, hand sanitizer, an extra pair of glasses, hand lotion, gloves, extra napkins and a small trash container. In the center console I keep chapstick, scissors, nail clippers, extra car air freshener inserts (I have a holder that clips to the air vent) lens cleaner, tape measure and a multi tool.

In the trunk I have a small crate that holds the things I use to when I take my car to be washed...window cleaner, paper towels, some soft micro cloths, spray cleaner. I also keep my re-usable grocery bags in there, plus a soft pad made especially to put down in a store cart for when I take my dogs to the pet store. They're tiny, (3 lbs each) and their little paws would slip through if they weren't on something.
 
Ronni....I had one of those air fresheners clipped the same way too. Then I noticed a film kept building up inside my windshield. Happened two or three times and I finally moved the freshener to the rear seat and the windshield has stopped fogging up. It’s tough to get it off too.

Really Pappy??? That's fascinating...I have a film on my windshield too!!! And my rear view mirror! I never connected the two...who knew???

Well I'll definitely move it now..see if it changes anything! Thanks for the tip!!!
 
Pappy, don't use any window cleaner with ammonia or alcohol in it...especially on tinted windows. The best auto window cleaner for the money would be Meguiar's Perfect Clarity G8224:

Meguiar’s are the market leading brand in the detailing world where they produce one of the best detailing products in every aspect of the car washing world. The G8224 Perfect Clarity is one of the best car glass cleaners for the money.
Some of the notable features of the Meguiar’s G8224 include:

  • Anti hazing solution
  • Streak free finish
  • Can be used within direct sunlight
  • Fights bugs, tree sap, vinyl fog, road grime and droppings
  • Safe on all windows including tinted
This auto glass cleaner itself is hugely popular across the US for its strong cleaning properties that can cut through the toughest of dirt in seconds. The Meguiar’s car window cleaner provides long lasting clarity and prevents the hazing with the heating or air con turned on.
 
Cleaning the inside of the windshield is a real chore....especially for us older folks. The best tool I've found is one of these "Microfiber Wands". It's long handle, and the microfiber pad, make this chore fairly easy, and it does a real good job...even with Windex. You can find these for sale for as little as $2 on the Internet....or 2 for $9 at Walmart.

We keep a couple of microfibre cloths too. There's also a few pound coins or tokens for the supermarket trolly, a road atlas and the odd USB stick with music on it. Otherwise it's a new car so hasn't accumulated much clutter.
