They were thinking ahead….
…..when they designed these cars. Must’ve known we’d still be drivin ‘em around when they were 25 and 35 years old…That’s why the storage compartment can hold so much more than you’d think..
I was getting ready to head on a road cruise this morning to Gillette, WY and was checking mine out..
Jack, spare belts, 2 sizes of wrenches up to ¾�, socket set, crescent wrench, pliers, wiring connectors, fuses, spare wire, little mag light, and a couple more little do-dads..all stuffed into this little spot…
gotta love these old girlies...

looks good. My jack tray consists of the jack, spare belt, flash light, atf, coolant, window cleaner, and paper towels.
my 'glove' compartment has hand tools in it

Drifting
I keep one of those little ****ty mechanics tool boxes in the back of mine... just kinda sits there, takes up allittle space not a bother though... I cant begin to tell you how many times it has come in handy... best $50 investment I have made on the car yet. Now no matter what car I am driving I take it with me. Even if its not for me, comes in handy to help other people too... One good turn always deserves another...
I broke down once in VA Beach, due to a collapsed lifter, and I had 2 vettes stop to make sure I was okay, one of which waited with me for well over an hour until a tow truck came...
He owned a hot little C4 with carbon fiber interior. and the other one was a new C5. I thought that that was particularly cool... don't see too many ricers pulled over to help each other out do ya... I know that if I ever see a vette looking sickly on the side of the road, I will stop, and if nothing else, just keep the driver company.... oh and that C5 passed me, drove down the road turned around, came back like 2 - 3 miles and turned around again to come and meet me. it looked like a little corvette convention on 64 hah... <i think its 64, dont remember though..>
