Thumbs up Utility noticed after 3 years of ownership

I find that carrying my wallet in the hip pocket is a pain in the butt, literally, while driving my car.
And I must be blind, becasue only last week I notice that I can slide my wallet perfectly in the cubby hole on hte left side, below the dimmer switch. I can even leave it there when I park my car since it is out of sight and does not attract any thief.

Great Idea by Mazda.

This car keeps on amazing me, even after over 3 years of ownership.

I put my garage door opener there. I just pulled the clip off and it fits very nicely there.

I keep my garage door opener under the armrest. I honestly don't know what else you could possibly use the clip under the lid for.

I don't know what you mean by owners card, but my insurance card is to thin to fit under it. I can stow my wallet in there (but that stays in my pocket) and if I slide the clip of the garage door opener on it then it stays perfectly well, and I don't have **** messing up my ride (I hate crap that doesn't look like it came from the factory inside my interior).

OWNERS CARD = Registration info

I stack the insurance + registration card into a plastic envelope(holder) and slide it under the clip thatu find under the armrest.
My audio cassettes go in the armrest space, btw.
My CD's(burned) stay in the place behind the gearstick , without any jewel case. Only One CD gone bad till now(got another copy burned..praise the CD burner). I have about 20 CD's stacked in there.

So i guess you get pulled over pretty often eh?

The cop will be pretty impressed with your "cooperativeness" when you whip out your licence and registration in less than 2 seconds!!

I kept my garage door remote in there for a while, but it was causing an annoying vibration.

I use the little cubby over the left knee for my perscription sunglasses (in a case)... that way they are always there when I need them.
