Am I one of the few, if the only one, who puts the sunglasses in the storage in front of the shifter? My aviators just manage to fit in there and it's a quick grab versus having to reach in and dig in the side pocket...plus I don't bother with the case since I keep a microfiber cloth in there as well to clean them and the wind deflector.

Nah, I just keep forgetting to put it back in the golf bag. Gotta have tabasco for the bloody marys on the course.

Like I said, I guess I should clean out the pockets.

Does the cable get me a prize for unusual item? Come on, how many other people keep their cable there?
That cable is too expensive to leave in a pocket. I leave my top and windows down most of the time. My cable is in the front trunk.

My pockets are clean as a whistle. Not a thing in them or the center counsel.

I've discovered that the amenity kit box/pouch Lufthansa gives you when flying business or first class make for a good "emergency stuff holder" for the Boxster. Spare fuses, small tools, pocket knife, spare set of gloves for working on the car in an emergency, etc.

I would keep the things after every flight, but it took the Boxster to find a use for them. Well, for one anyway. There are about 4 more sitting in the closet still.

I couldn't tell you! (Every time I look in there it's a surprise!) Pretty sure I've got a tire pressure gauge in there* but, sitting at the computer now, I have no idea what else... (Obviously, I don't use them much!)

*except when my kid has borrowed it and (as usual) failed to put it back...

For you single guys :
Calvin Klein Summer cologne with the red cap. Has to be the red cap. No longer made. You have to look for it.
I don't wear smelly stuff otherwise but this stuff stays in the car to be applied minutes before the missus boards the Boxster or meet up at some fancy smanshy girlie place. On second thought this is good for married guys too as it puts women in an good mood instantly...so yeah you guys keep it under the couch on Sundays.

Air pressure gauge. POS Porsche unit broke on me. Fuse checker. Scissors. Wheel lock. Obd scanner. USB cigarette adapter. Valentine 1. Breath mint.
