I had to take the car yesterday and my husband has had a large poker tabletop in the backseat for months. I have a few cats toys in the cupholder of the truck.

Do you have any odd items in your vehicle?

Oh my gosh...I need to clean out my car SOOOOO badly! I have to clean it at least once a month, but no more than that
.

A few things:

A lamp
A rope halter for my horse (it stays in my car, I don't want it to get ruined)
Books
The cable company's remote, that I've been meaning to return

I kinda worry about what is in my car... I have a pair of 4 inch stiletto cowboy boots that could probably double as a weapon... I also have a screw driver that is about a food long because my car doesnt like to go into gear and it ghetto rigged.

Not really.
Leash, dog collar, gentle leader, cable tie outs, stainless steel bowl, dog toys.
Citronella oil lamp, dashboard Buddy Christ.

Nothing terribly out of the ordinary.

I have a large tackle box filled with art supplies in the back of The Fish Mobile (AKA: my van), the passenger-side side view mirror is in the glove box (I should get that fixed
), an aquarium, and two very large styrofoam boxes for transporting fish.

I haven't thoroughly cleaned out the van in two years. There are computer peripherals that were given to me with this computer (but no software), tools, fossil and mineral specimens, UV lamp, and who knows what critter(s) have taken up residency.

We got a '91 Cutlass from my brother's friend and in the glovebox's hidden compartment we found a Shrek toy. In the back seat we found a can of beans and a bottle of wine.

Mmmmmm my car.....

I had a boxed kitchen cabinet in my car for 3 weeks, now I have made it and it will go back in my car for another 3 weeks........ also in the back seat are many toys and my SO's McDonalds wrappers.

I also have a pillow and duvet in the boot, along with a child backpack and I dread to think what else.....

And in the passenger seat is several Pepsi Max bottles (SO's) a coffee cup, several carrier bags and some toys.

Bear in mind that this is MY car and SO cannot even drive. Nothing except the kitchen cabinet is mine. (Cabinet's fro work)

Define odd? I think all the stuff in my truck is perfectly logical. Like the rollerblades, tackle box, dog bowls, ziplock bags of dog food and treats, dog seatbelt harness, hiking boots, backup horse halter and lead rope, towels, change of clothes, bottled water, -20 F sleeping bag, bucket of ice melt... I'm sure there's more in that pile behind the seat that I don't remember. I'm prepared for most everything. Finding exactly what I need is the difficult part.
