What's in your door pockets?

[2003S]

The Pre-03 knee abuser/owners manual cubby thread got me thinking... We all have door pockets, right? What's in yours?

Mine:
Driver's side = Tom Tom & cable; tire pressure gauge; several parking meter stickers from Chicago's meter system.
Passenger side = 1 US Open tennis cap; 1 Yoshi cap (wife and 6 year old son's respectively)

Bonus points for the most unusual contents...

Nothing. I don't put anything in my Porsches but a towel in the fronk, along with a small bag with air gauge, rags and a couple of things for emergencies and my GPS unit in the storage bin behind the seats. Nothing else, nada. Nothing in the door panels.

good topic!

driver's side
- a couple of old gasoline receipts
- contact lenses
- extra suction cups for radar detector
- extra crush ring for oil plug
- extra set of house keys
- spare volvo key ( been looking for that thing for a month! )

I try and not keep anything in any of the pockets/cubbies.......I have a ink pen in the center console lol

[ChairmanRon]

Driver's side: Durametric cable.

Passenger side: Nothing.

Center console: Nothing.

Does the cable get me a prize for unusual item? Come on, how many other people keep their cable there?

[barkinfool]

Spare set of reading glasses (can't read anything without a pair now, so just in case I leave without them, not stranded)
Sunglasses
Various high quality disposable napkins I grab when I see 'em (in case I spill something)
Roadmap
Wallet when driving

In the center back console, just the owner's manual book

Behind driver's seat
- Always on the hook, windshirt
- one microfiber in the driver's side seat pocket for pushing down the frunk or to wipe off fingerprints from the paint

That's it, nothing that will earn me any prizes...

Hair brush- (lightweight of course) in case women are where you arrive after going 60+ topless, behind seat optional

Cigar cutter + 2 cigars for outdoor cafe I used to ride to

lighter

microfiber towel for unknowns ( I picked passenger's seat pocket, easier to grab on the fly from driver's seat)

NYS Thruway fob, given to my godfather for 30+ years of service, almost thrown away when he died, I yo-ed it

chrome esso tire gauge I've had since age 9

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.

OBDII Code reader and a towel in the drivers side, a pair of gloves, spare fuses, tire gauge and a pair of sunglasses in the center and nothing in the passenger side. Car docs are in pocket behind passenger seat. First aid kit and tool kit in frunk and nothing in the rear.

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.

Sounds handy, I could take one off of your hands if you need them gone.

Got some Lloyd floormats, so in my door pockets I put those stupid plastic covers that never fit right (ever) that were sitting on the ends of the seat rails. Apparently those are not supposed to remain in place anyways, so I was happy to toss them aside for my new mats.

Prior to that the mail would temporarily be in there when going to/from the post office.

...there might be an old gas receipt in the driver's side, but I started to collect them in one of the center console cubby holes before bringing them in...easier to get to than the door pocket.

I might get those seat rail cover things out of there and store them away though, because they just fit in the door pockets, leaving little room for anything else, and I've seen a few very handy things from people's lists that I may want to put in those pockets.

My bottle opener's the only thing on my keychain, jmatta.

Nice topic choice, 2003S.
