Secret Shelf?
Does everyone else know about the secret little shelf inside the central cubby box of their car (between the seats)?
If you put your hand into the box, and feel at the top/front, there's a little shelf there that you can keep small objects on. You can't see it, but it's there. I was delighted to discover it the other day, but now I can't decide what to keep there.
Is this obvious, or was I asleep at the moment they explained this at MB school?

My orientation lady never pointed it out to me, so until today it was still secret as in I never knew it existed. Well I still don't as I won't get in my car until I go home tonight to look for it. I keep my insurance card on the clip under the passenger sun visor.

I too discovered this by accident as I was putting stuff into the storage box. I don't know if it was intentional, secret or not, but it's nice to put a little something there that you don't want readily accessible.

Interesting. Seems like I'm not the only one who didn't know this was there. Glad I pointed it out!
Of course, where I'm from, we don't have Benjamins or Federales, so I'm still at a loss to know what to keep there.

I found this by fluke the day I picked up the car. It's a great storage space for items you don't use everyday. I keep my car wash card and a key fob for an office I'm at a few times a month. Also for those that don't know - the 20$ center console organizers you can buy on eBay are the best 20 bucks i've ever spent!
