Perfect place to put your...

Is it just me, or have any of you all noticed that the space between the console and the parking brake is the perfect place to put your wallet?

I don't usually drive with my wallet in my pocket, unless it's a short trip. I'm used to driving 1-2 hrs. at a time on a regular basis (so maybe it is just me). Idk, I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed the same thing...

I have no stereo in my car so before I had the abs plastic panel made, I used that as my "stash" spot. Worked well.

My phone sits perfectly in the ashtray, which of course doesn't get used in my car.

Do You get pulled over alot? So need quick access to your wallet j/k

I personally wouldn't do so, but then again I live in Murderapolis, MN and wouldn't want any additional reason to invite the ghetto thieves to come near me or my car.

I put my wallet and cell phone right there. Nice and easy to get to. And it keeps my leg from going to sleep because of my wallet.. Wich can be pretty annoying on 2 to 13 hours drives.. Nothing like getting out of your car to almost face plant because your leg went numb.

I swapped to a 4th gen console so I usually put my cell phone in the little cubby, my wallet and insurance info in my headliner console, drinks in the cupholders, bla bla bla. Before I swapped in the newer console I didn't have enough room, now I have more than enough room.
