My manhood is in jepordy

I think I am going to have to buy a wallet with a change purse. Or buy a change purse. Ever since I was young I would never dig into my pocket for the correct change. I would always just break a bigger bill. My condo is covered with change. You could pull enough change out couch to feed a family of 4 for a week. My ex-girlfriends kid would clean my condo if he could keep all the change he finds laying around. I once filled a 5 gallon water jug to the top with change ($2378.97) So now you will understand my issue. I filled my ashtray to the top with change. Then I put a couple of bolts on top of it for safe keeping. Well the one of the bolts fell into the back and went down under the ashtray . This prevented me from closing the ashtray door. Little things like this can bother me to no end. So I decided to look into this further and found that the only way was to take apart the whole bottom section of the dash. This goes all the way over to the passanger door. So after about 50 screws and 40 minutes I finally had the piece off. I held it upside down and shook out 1.57 in change and the bolt. So now what. Do I countinue putting change in my ashtray and risk having to pull apart the whole dash again? Or buy a change purse?

Buy a change purse or better yet, I'll send you a prepaid box so you can send that change my way.

Good luck with all that coin. I wouldn't put it back in the ash tray though.

Yeah that is what usually happens. But only after I go to the casino and lose like $500. Then I clean it all up and head down to the coin star machine and turn it all in. I get like 250-300 or so. And thats only about 3-4 months worth. Do you think this has anything to with why I can't get a girl to come over my condo more than once?

Our ashtrays are too small to hold much change. If you want to keep it in your truck, throw it in the bed. The extra weight will help you in the snow, too.

I once had a penny fall behind my ashtray and it prevented me from closing it. After slamming it closed numerous times I think the penny finally dislodged from where it was letting the tray close fully. It realy bugged me for the week or so that it would not close, I knew something wasen't right but I couldn't quite fix it,

Slamming plastic parts are not always the best idea. That ashtray is part of the lower dash piece. It would be pricey to fix. I had this same problem with my 94. But it wasn't change I would lose. It was my paychecks. They would get stuck up in the dash. But I could easily fish them out. ANd the change would just drop down into the dash and make its way out

Bigdave, just so that you know next time. If you just grab the ash tray and give it a little pull it will come right out. It's not part of the lower dash. I had the same problem many times as you did. Just a little tug and it all comes out, pick all the coins out and push it back into place and your back in bussines.

I use it, but it doesn't have enough holders. Some brilliant engineer only put 3 in there. We get 4 different coins, not counting the 50 cent and dollar ones.
