Default Found a Treasure Chest in my STR....

Well went and got some Hardees for a quick lunch and when I left the cup was a little snug in the cup holder. Went to pull it out for a sip and the cup holder came loose. Pull it out to make sure I didnt break it and notice it was fine and there was a secret compartment underneath. Apparently the cup holder can just unhook to reveal it underneat. Anyone else ever notice this before? Mine had disguistingly soaked change underneath. But its nice knowing I can hind stuff like a spare key etc in there.
Before nice and normal besides the mess need to clean up inside.


Secret compartment with treasure.

Got to clean this now.

It's that time of year again. You do know you will have to file an amended tax return for the year you picked up the car ...

More often than not I don't have the cupholder bit even in the console. 20oz water bottles don't fit, so the cupholder part sits on the floor in the back unless i have a drink that fits. I knew about this "under" area since the cupholder was not in when I first drove the car.

That being said, I had no clue that the armrest slid forward until about a week after buying the car and messing with removing the console binnacle to install an AUX input.

I beleive that's the Shaguar option. It was part of the "cruise" kit. But check with our forum sponser Nalley on that one.

This makes me LoL! I purposely left the dealer sticker on my car-- my wholesaler is part of the "**** Auto Group"

I've yet to go out and pry up my cupholder, but from the looks of it --with the 4bucks holder out I can fit a Super Gulp in there!

LOLz...I had the carpets shampooed with the full detail after I bought the car. But the black light is not a bad idea though....... I'm like those paranoid freaks with the hand sanitizers! .

But yeah I double checked under both front seats to make sure I don't find any surprises
