[QUOTE=rick3000;552564]You should not keep coins in the ash tray. When the ash tray is closed the coins can bounce out of the tray and get under the center console, a few people have had coins get into the shifter and cause problems.[/QUOTE


Works fine for me, but I just put quarters in it.

Same here, I keep change in the ashtray and I don't seem to be losing any change

Are you guys doing Dukes of Hazard jumps with your cars?

my favorite mod...

Same one as mentioned by Tom Stone (post # 50)... as this improves greatly the feeling and handling of the car, following a second place would be the LSD.

I just put quarters in it too. For meters. What the heck do you need pennies and nickels for?

So are you saying that quarters are large enough and won't bounce out?
