I have thin driving glooves in the gloove compartment of my 4 year dead vehicle. Driving glooves and a stick shift. Vroomm Vrooomm let’s race.
Yes.
They come in handy about twice a year when I lose one or when it gets cold much faster than I expected.
And then every once in a while somebody asks, “What’s with the gloves?” and I can say “It’s the glove compartment!”
I crack myself up sometimes.
Papers, a flashlight, & one of THESE.
For long trips, just in case.
Am I and my family the only people on earth who call the “glove compartment” the “jockey box”?
I’ve never heard the term before. 
While were at it, am I the only one who calls the hazard light button on modern Fords the “triagle launcher”?
okay, so let’s hijack a bit: why is it called a dashboard? Why not call it the instrument panel–that sounds like a jet plane. cool!
No, but I don’t live in a place that gets cold enough to merit having gloves in the compartment.
Not anymore!
I keep gloves in the trunk. The drawer-like soon to be renamed thing in the passenger side of my car holds car related papers, some moist towelettes, an antique pack of cinnamon Trident, a tire pressure guage, a pen (which more than likely doesn’t write) and a tiny flashlight.
I might if knew why it’s called a dash. Is it faster than the other parts of the car
Because in Ye Olden Days (1940-1989) domestic cars’ dashboards were made of steel with razor-sharp edges that were covered with 1/64" of foam rubber. Therefore, one would “dash/gash” their head off even in a low-speed wreck
Yes. Usually a pair of cotton work gloves and my insurance card. I keep my flashlight and tiregauge in the console.
