I have a feeling that all of us spent too much (as my soon to be wife says)
on the overhead sunglasses holder, even if we want to say that we got it

hey the chebby doesn't even come with the trip computer! actually my
favorite thing is putting my camels in the garage door opener part, never
have to worry about them sliding off the seat again!
