as far as rear seat stashes, I found a dead chipmunk under the rear seats about a week after I bought it.
It looked like it had been there for years...

The one plus about contraband stashes around the car is that packing for long trips has just become that much easier. If the kids are fighting in the back, just toss one in the custom smuggling compartment for a bit!

The only mod I have is really really really dark tint. I am considering a gaudy hood ornament, but luckily its just in the consideration stage...
