Stupid Q: What's this part of a car called?

ponder registration, manual, tire locking widget, a few receipts, a bunch of old parking hang tags from work, an electronic compass widget that never stayed stuck to the windshield for long.

Please explain “boiled sweets”.

While you’re at it, what’s an “A-Z” and a “Tax disc”?

an A to Z is a local street atlas.

A tax disc is a paper road fund licence that has to be displayed on the windscreen to prove payment of tax on the vehicle is current.

I imagine it’s been about 90 years since anyone ever used it for gloves. Even those weird 80s people who still use driving gloves probably don’t actually keep them in there.

You must not live somewhere that gets cold, GuanoLad. When that steering wheel is cold, I wear gloves.

Granted, when it’s 20 below zero, I’m wearing heavy gloves that spent the night in the house, but when it’s just cold enough to be uncomfortable, the gloves in the glove compartment do just fine.
