  • One of the biggest features I judge a car on is cubby space. As a mom, my center console & glove box are extremely important to hold any back up/emergency items. So how do I utilize my spaces? Well that’s what I’m here to share with you all!
    You can find everything I shared on my Amazon page under “Cubby Space Necessities”. www.amazon.com...

    I NEVER thought to organize my car the same way I organize my house! Now to geek out on a whole new organizing binge! Thank you.

    Life hammer suggestion, I keep the exact one in my console so I can reach it if I am trapped . If your stuck in the belt you may not reach the glove compartment. Manuals in the trunk ..GENUIS

    So as a 20 year old man, I didn't expect to enjoy your video. But it was EXTREMELY well made, it was to the point, explanatory, and enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much! I never thought of keeping any change in my glove box. I also really love your bag organizational method. I always use plastic bags to organize things when camping, I can't believe I never thought of the same in my car. Also. I didn't see you mention a first aid kit? As a firefighter I highly highly recommend keeping a first aid kit in your car. Even if it's not more than some bandaids and neosporin. Never know when someone's gonna get a cut or scrape!

    Can you do a tour on the crystler genesis please.
    I love your tours. It has made the process of eliminating suvs so easy for me during my suv search.
    I am always telling my husband suvs should not be allowed to be sold without ceiling or side door air vents as well as shades. You have covered that in your tours helping me scratch the ones without those features so easy. Thank you so much. For someone that has a husband who works a lot, looking for a car is super inconvenient. These videos really have helped me save my time by not going to see these cars in person.

    Where do you keep your napkins??! Lol my entire center console is basically full of Starbucks napkins that I use all the time! Since my son was born I've kept a baby caddy organizer thing on the floor where his seat is, started out with diapers, wipes and sanitizer wipes but has evolved a little as he's gotten older. It's been a nice place to keep all of the stuff for him though to keep it in a space that never gets used otherwise and in an organizer

    I literally never use my glove box or center console. I keep my tire gauge, a couple of tools and a knife (just in case 😉). I cart around 4 kids all the time and I never thought to utilize that space for more important things.

    What do you think about: Years ago I had a fridge/freezer combo that stayed in the back of the SUV, until it malfunctioned. It was never replaced but I’m buying a new vehicle and it would be nice to have a new fridge/freezer combo to avoid spending a fortune on cold beverages... I don’t use ice chests in vehicles 🤷🏻‍♂️ they’re not my thing but I’m open to change. Thank you!

      If you can...instead of laying them if you stand them zipper up it’s easy to grab items out if needed. My kids are little older (& I’m on the road for work a lot) so I actually use the stuff in there more frequently

    I think keeping the seat belt cutter and window smashed in the glove box makes it hard to access in an accident. Center console would probably be a a lot better place

    I don’t understand putting “wear and tear” on a car that you have no intentions of buying. I went to look at a car and was told “I think it’s here but the gm’s wife drives it so it might not be here”. She drives a new car as if it’s her personal car and as if someone won’t pay their hard earned money for it. It seems wrong to me but apparently it’s a common practice.
