Well at least you can bump while you wait for the tow truck

There is absolutely nothing that shouldn't be in the truck for once as we just had it detailed after some work yesterday.

when I fist saw the thread title I read it as 'Odd things in your CAT'.

Well if you had asked last week I would have said a coffee maker, coffee filters, a day-by day calendar, a wall calendar, some networking equipment...but I cleaned all that out Monday.

Right now I guess the oddest thing would be a Transformer toy from a Happy Meal I got this last summer.

I dont have many things in my car. I can't stand a messy car with things all over the place. It drives me crazy. I have a few things in my trunk - but necessary car items. Also, a piece of my grandparents apple tree that I liked when I was younger. I wanted a piece of it, and when they chopped it down they saved me a piece.

I can't stand getting into my boyfriends car. Right now, there's papers all over the backseat floor, along with a big plastic container on his back seat. My snow tires in his trunk (they wont fit in mine & they're going on very soon anyways) and on the front seat floor, there's a couple soda or lemonade bottles. I try to clean it up and he just gets mad cause he says he likes it that way. Grrrrr ...

How about a Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas cookie jar and a Nightmare Before Christmas mantle clock?

They're Christmas presents for my brother, which I bought at the Disney store when their Halloween stuff was marked down. (He and his wife are HUGE Nightmare fans...he's gonna love them!) I haven't managed to find a safe spot in the house to store them yet, so there they remain in my trunk.

I put a broom in my trunk this morning before I left for work. I was supposed to snow today.....thank God it didn't. I did remember to put my window scrapers in the car too. I think I have 4 or 5 umbrellas in my car. Whenever I can't find one, I buy a new one...and put it in the car. Then the one I couldn't find, rolls out from under the seat and it looks like they've multiplied...

I have one bag with a towel, a lock, my work out shoes...that one's for the gym. I have another bag that has a stethoscope, crocs, lab jacket, and IDs from each place I work...that's my work bag. Then I have an ice scraper, car window shade, and a ginormous atlas that came with the car for trips I never take.

My car is still new, so it's clean ...
except for an empty litter box.
Don't ask why I have that.

I am wondering about that poker table top Karen.

Where to begin -

tire pressure reader x3
flashlight
spare tire and crummy scissor jack
10inch sony x-plod speaker and 75x2 watt amp
door speaker and mount
tons of miscellaneous screws
the largest pair of vice grips I have ever seen
rear strut mount bar
screwdriver
pile of cds
faceplate off the stereo of my 240's radio (that was mysteriously curb checked in an applebees parking lot)
scrubs
other miscellaneous car parts. . .

Oh, where do I begin??? I'm terrible about cleaning the car out. Apparently, the strangest thing in my car to my co-workers (who haven't seen the rest of it!) is the 30lb bag of cat food in my passenger seat. I feed the barn cats before I go to work, and when I get home, so it just easier to keep the bag in my car. I pulled into work the other day, and one of my co-workers asked me if that was a giant bag of potato chips. I said "no, it's a giant bag of cat food". He looked very confused.

I also have a boom box that may or may not work, a ton of books, at least one tub of kitty litter, and possibly a bag of potatoes buried that I forgot to get out when I went to the market this weekend. Not to mention many empty cups, soda bottles, and probably a few scratch off tickets that still need to be cashed in.

Oh, and in the glove box, I KNOW there are shot glasses we bought on vacation almost 2 years ago. Yeah, we're REALLY bad about cleaning out the car. I won't even start on what is in the trunk. I honestly think there may be a tent in there......

A bottle of laundry detergent that I keep meaning to bring into the house. I guess when the current bottle is empty, I'll bring it in.

Two pairs of dance shoes. I get a new pair and the old ones never get out of the trunk. The shoe box from the current pair.

A 2 month old issue of "The Onion".

3 coats. The weather is chilly in the morning so I wear a coat into work and then forget to bring it in at night.

Right now my computer is out there in the front seat, I even had to put the seatbelt on it today, the seat thought it had a passenger I guess the bells were ringing! I need to go out there and get it out, anyway, I believe there to be my son's alto saxophone, (which used to be mine, 20WHAT something yrs.ago) who said that? the American Eagle bag which has the remainer
of the flyers I made up of GiGi, with tape, staple gun, staples! cds.pen or pencils, and books from the 6 th grade. oh yea, my b/f's son is staying over tonight, he thought he had football practice tonight but he didn't , so I also have his uniform, helmet, pads, pants and jersey! Detergent, because my washer is broken! Bummmmerrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That should cover it! And I hate a messy car, it won't be for long!

I collect glass insulators (like these: http://www.insulators.com/ )... and the last time I went to an insulator show, I came back with my trunk completely loaded with boxes full of both. Before I could unpack them, I had a freak accident with my keyring and lost the trunk key.

That was almost three years ago, and I haven't been able to open my trunk since.

And actually, I'm so used to driving with that extra weight in the trunk that I'm afraid I'd wreck if I took it out! Anyway... at some point, I'll give up hoping the key will turn up and just go ahead and pick the lock, if I can... and it'll be like Christmas, with all that beautiful glass in there!
