What's the weirdest thing you keep in your car?

shana · Post by **shana** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 1:45 pm

Just curious!! And I don't mean jumper cables and tire jacks. I always have bathing suits and towels and deoderant and a razor (In case I missed a spot). I started to think that maybe this is a little weird, but maybe you have something that's even weirder??

I used to have a square piece of wood. Dad left it there, and I know why he did so, and it stayed there for centuries.

I always try to have a roll of toilet paper in the car, especially on long trips.

To paraphrase Forrest Gump,

"When I was hungry I ate, When I was tired I slept, and when I had to, well, you know, go, I went."

A pair of black leather gloves

Okay, OJ.

I don't really keep anything in my car. I do keep a lot of spare change in there, mostly pennies, which never see the light of day. But that's not so weird. Um... the broken step of my parking brake. Broke right off, and I keep it in my car because I'm too lazy to throw it out, apparently.

Let's see...

Well I took a pizza light from where I was working so I could cruise around town and not be stopped by the police.

I also had towels, toilet paper, paintball gun, candles, other people's clothes, some of my clothes, an eletrical shock game, a Kerry for president banner, tools, and probably a lot more stuff that I don't remember.

Keep in the car? My wife likes to keep some aromatherapy oils and a burner. (The latter attaches through the cancer-lighter attachment, normally used for cigarettes, which we remove.) In the car at any time? Probably my priestly robes used when I'm with a group of decorous pagans who are horrified at the idea of standing nude around a cauldron. But since I'm not hanging around any of these queasy stomached book Wiccans any longer, the robes aren't any longer in the car.

You have a Boooh-Bah in your car?! That's amazing! :speech: :laugh: :laugh:

I always keep a spare change of clothes, some deoderant, many CDs, a flashlight, a $30 Sears jumper-thingie in case my battery dies out, a spare tire, a jack, a can of stuff that you can use to fix flat tires... In winter there's also a spare set of boots and a shovel. All of this I keep nice and orderly in my trunk. If I have a date or something I tend to put these little bead-things in the ashtray that make the car smell like soap: it sounds girlie but I've gotten many a compliment on it. :mischief:

I take it out at parties, it is quite the converstation piece when everyone is drunk or otherwise inebriated. Plus, who would steal a vehicle with that on top of the dashboard? It's motion activated so it freaks people out when they get in and it starts moving, it's hilarious when someone gets into my truck only to be accosted through song by the "Chernobyl Baby" as one of my friend calls it.

I don't understand how little kids aren't completely freaked out by them.

Have you ever seen that show? It's almost as hypnotic as the Teletubbies. On a few occasions, I'll be flipping past PBS and find those... things... doing their bizarre dance number, but my finger freezes and I can't flip past. They do things to your mind!

Oh, and uh, I forgot to mention that, where I'm supposed to keep my CDs--I actually only just started putting CDs in there--I once spilled soda that I never cleaned up, and that's actually where all my spare change is. So it's all sticky spare cents.

My friends and I used to watch it during lunch while school was still in session, just laughing our asses off...

"Boooooooooh-baaaaaah"!

None of those things are especially weird, except of course the Boo Bah!! I've never seen the show, but I always make a point to visit the Boo Bah aisle when I'm at Wal Mart because I like to play with them! :speech:

And Tony, I think the bead things are fine, since they are made to go in cars. A warning though, a lot of girls are suspicious of boys with potpourri, so stick with beads!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

I don't have a car, but if I did, I'd keep a dead bunny in it.

They're fun, my friend has a blue one. :laugh:

Hahahaha :laugh:
Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind. Potpurri has never really been my thing anyways, if there's going to be any smoke in my car it's going to smell much different.

You don't burn [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potpourri"]potpourri[/url] (at least not intentionally). You might be thinking about [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incense"]incense[/url].

Could explain why it hasn't been his thing, I hear it can give off bad vibes, and it multiplies into thousands of little goblins.

^Perhaps the most circumspect way I've ever come to picture Fable standing around a cauldron naked before. Oh my.

As for me? A five-foot tall inflatable monkey...in a firey manthong. He's a wicked chap at riding shotgun.
