I think you're only supposed to keep gloves in there. Anything else, and you void your warranty.

I like how you had to tape the piece of white paper behind it to make sure it shows up in the picture. That kind of dedication is what makes that picture art, instead of just a snapshot.

I hope not. That's where I keep my warranty paper work. Just kidding.

Thank you for the complement. I hate to burst your bubble, but the white piece of paper was just a gas receipt that stuck to the back wall of of the glove box. Maybe if it hadn't been there, I would have gotten creative and put it there. But then again, If Fleming hadn't noticed the mold on the piece of bread we might not have penicillin.

That makes me feel better. I'm just like Fleming!

Syclone -

Quite a few people have mentioned that piece of white paper behind your 'spare' - My question: Do I detect a little strip of Scotch tape on the upper right hand corner?

No visible means of support! It's just sitting there - static electricity, and/or serendipity. I think the little thingee that looks like tape is a JPG artifact.
