What's in your glovebox?
As a fairly new Porsche owner, I was wondering what everyone has in their glovebox. All I have in mine is an insurance card, registration, owner's manual and a flashlight. I thought I read a while back that you should have a small fire extinguisher in there just in case?

Swiss army knife, spare fuses, relay and dme relay, spare glasses, gloves, manual. Bits of wire. More useful stuff in boot and door pockets.
By the way. How do you get a small fire extinguisher in there?

Registration and insurance paperwork, AAA card, condoms and a Kimber .45 auto. Cannot see the need for much anything else!

I would rather be judged by 12 of my peers than carried to the grave by 6 of my friends...
Just this morning here in Phoenix we had a woman shot and killed while sitting at a stoplight. The two perps threw a large rock through her windshield to get her attention, then shot and killed her... all for no reason and probably just to get into a gang. Hope they find and roast the bastards. Joe Lifetime NRA

We have a guy in Seattle who chased down a jacker ('85 Gran Prix?) and shot the kid in the head at a stop sign. The perp is in critical condition.
So, feels good to know the jacker got his? If I were the shooter, I would not enjoy the night in jail and the first degree assault charge. Gotta think before you act... My glovebox has a film container full of quarters for the self-wash outfits. Also keep a disposable camera to shoot pics should God forbit an accident happen. One picture is worth a big old shouting match in court! John

John,
Agree with you that you have to think before doing something on impulse... Chasing down someone is Police business, but if someone comes at me and is not smiling, then I am not going to sit there and become a victim. If I see someone do something like this, I would call 911 and follow if possible. Not my job to stop and detain this idiot unless he is putting someone else in danger... If a cop had shot the perp, then yes, I would feel better. Seeing these kids roam the country, stealing and killing then being slapped on the hand has to stop. The guy who shot the kid in your posting went out of bounds and he will face a jury who will decide his fate. Joe So, feels good to know the jacker got his? If I were the shooter, I would not enjoy the night in jail and the first degree assault charge. Gotta think before you act...

Guns in the glovebox
Quote:
Guns, well that's a touchy subject. I'll just say I personally don't want one cause I can't justify the risk and responsibility associated with owning one. If I die someday because I didn't have a gun, then that was my decision and risk to take. I honestly feel that the risk of a personal tragady with the gun is much greater than being shot by a stranger. Oh and I would also bet that the unfortunate lady killed in AZ would still be dead even if she had a gun in her glovebox. A rock coming through the windshield is going to stun a person...not trigger them to go for their gun. My .02, but for what its worth I have no problems with people owning guns. I've shot some in my time and found it enjoyable. However the laws need to be enforced that would make commiting crimes with guns a one time thing...if you get my drift. Owners manual Registration and insurance Air gauge Various CDs Swiss army pocket knive Maps Cigarette lighter - cell phone charger took its place Wheel lock key Napkins - for when my kids ride along Last edited by dmoolenaar; 12-16-2002 at 08:10 AM.. |

Door pockets:
a) Air gauge b) Gloves c) Radar detector d) Cell phone charger e) Sun glasses Glove box: a) Insurance card b) Registration c) Owner's manual d) Walther PPKS Don't see how you could get a fire extinguisher of any worth into such a small space. Oh and in the front, oil. And a funnel.

Wow. I wouldn't have guessed this to be a pistol-packing community. I'll make a note to be more careful about what I say at PCA events!

Why do you guys keep handguns in your glovebox?
It’s not the most quickly accessible point for the driver and not particularly secure. Is it a legal requirement for carry in a car in your states?

The old door buzzer relay lives in my glovebox. Don't know why I still have it.
I think the first post I made here at Pelican was asking how to disarm that beast. It's still my favorite upgrade.

Greg,
Unarmed citizen = a helpless victim Armed citizen = alive and able to defend themselves Milu, The countries who have taken weapons from their citizens to make life "safer" have seen the crime rate rise every year. The law abiding citizens are then defenseless against the criminals, who "forgot" to turn their guns into the govt! Every state in America that has enacted a "concealed carry" law has seen the crime rate decline. I rest my case... Am not a real big gun nut but not a helpless victim either. Do not want to end up like the below... Joe http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1216cardeath-ON.html
