One of the little places was perfect to store spare change. 8 months later, I hate that thing. I continuously put change in, but for whatever reason, never really take any out. Now it just falls out if I make a sharp turn or accelerate quickly, it drives me nuts. When I bought my new car I was excited at all the little nooks and crannies it had to store stuff.

The first time I stayed at her place, I spent 2 days cleaning up her apartment. Seriously, I found change all over the floor of one of her rooms. When I added it all up, it was $800 (no kidding). Then, I cleaned out her car and found 2 paychecks in it that she had never deposited . . . Can you believe that ??? Some people just are not crazy about being organized . . .

What we've done, a little late, was to buy car seat protectors. It helps keep any mess off the seat and protect against wear and tear from car seats and boosters. One rule we have is there's no drinks in the back while the car is moving. That's helped tremendously in keeping the spill rate down.
