Why do cars have glove boxes?

That’s why I always wear a ski-mask when I drive a convertible. Surprisingly, I have never been able to find the ski-mask box.

There’s a great gag in Police Squad (TV prequel to the Naked Gun movies)…Leslie Nielsen’s partner is searching the glove comparment in a suspect’s car for some kind of clue, and it’s full of - guess what? - dozens of pairs of gloves.

In today’s cars, there are storage compartments everywhere there is space it seems; that’s great. You couldn’t do that as easily in the past w/o computer assisted interior design help.

Just be glad you weren’t a lady back then you could have been dressed like this

for driving these newfangled infernal machines.
