“Due to the death of my husband this mare was not breed this year.” Note in harness racing horse auction brochure, Dover, Del., 1964
Wow, my car seems so spartan alongside some of the others. But I’ve only had it for a month (sold old one), so give me time to catch up… 
Kenwood 87017 (or something like that) in-dash MP3 player
Alpine V12 5-channel amp mounted to the large side of my 60/40 split-fold seat
MB Quart PSC 328 components including:
Spanish book I haven’t used in two years.
Approximately 1000 feet of speaker wire in the spare tire well in case of… wire shortages? Hell if I know. It’s there and I keep making excuses for leaving it.
Pack of zip-ties, automotive. They’ll re-attach anything.
About 50 random 8mm screws with torx holes in them. I took them out, but don’t know where from. I guess when something falls off, I’ll have my long-awaited answer.
Green plastic toolbox with basic assortment of wrenches, screwdrivers, allen, and hexes.
76 piece 6-point socket set, until recently stolen.
18" breakover bar, hardened steel, behind the driver’s seat (just in case of trouble).
40 CD folding case, with about 50 CDs in it.
Gallon of anti-freeze, quart of oil, Mechanix gloves (blue leather), 6"x9" to 6" adapter plates (thoughtfully left after the speakers they went with were stolen) in the trunk with the sub.
Stock emergency spare, jack, and 19mm socket for lugs.
Stickers that say “This vehicle is equipped with a remote-vehicle starting system. Please disconnect battery before service” and “SideWinder Alarm Inside” stickers I’ve never applied. Maybe they wouldn’t have stolen my stuff if I had. Or maybe if I’d remembered to arm my alarm :rolleyes:
About $40 in pennies.
Blackouts that don’t even fit my car, anyone with a 91-94 Cavalier want front blackouts?
Chikki, why did you put a full-size spare on your emergency rim!? That can’t be safe! That rim is like a 12" or 13" by 3"! If you want a fifth stock wheel for emergencies, send me $20 and shipping and I’ll mail you one, I’ve got extras somewhere around here.
–Tim
I put a full-size spare on the rim because that’s what belonged on it. The mechanics wouldn’t stop arguing to let me tell them - when Dad got me the spare, it was actually a tire off his friend’s car that he’d been getting ready to race (and therefore didn’t need the stock wheels anymore). The original tire had a huge bald patch (you could see the steel belt) so Dad decided to mount an old donut he had in the shed on it. However, once I got new tires on my car I had a perfectly good full-size tire to replace the donut with.
Tissues, pencils, pennies, some little crap in the cup holders. A comb, a bottle of hand lotion, sun glasses, a couple of cassette tapes in the center console. Two bags of bags to be recycled and two bags of daughter’s cast-offs for Goodwill somewhere in the back, a green umbrella, a silver windshield shade, not too much trash - I cleaned out the worst of it last week. But I do have a fine collection of doggie nose prints on all the back windows…
