Car ashtray?

Sell the car. I hear some dude is selling a Jag that has ashtrays both in the front and back seats of the car.
 
So yesterday I was driving home from the airport and as I was about to flick my ash I realize there is a po-po cruiser behind me. Now I have 1" of ash ready to be flicked and it's going to fall on my lap if I don't do something. I had to pull over so the po-po could pass and just as he left it fell in my freakin' lap.

I have the answer.

I took a Poland Spring water bottle and cut the bottom to fit inside the cup holder using a razor. It sticks out just a little bit over the top for EZ grabbing. Its clear and almost unnoticeable, removable, and I can chuck the whole thing if I want.

I still use the window but I learned my lesson, cops don't like cigar leavin's leavin' your window.



I call it the AngryFish Seat Saver. I'll post up a pic if needed.

I just use one of the empty PBR Tall Boy cans rolling around the back of the truck...



*urp*
 
Find an ashtray with a beanbag bottom and plop it down on the center console somewhere.

hmmm, in NYC, the law says its illegal to toss a lit cigarette out a moving vehicle. But I guess cops don't really care what you are doing as long as it doesn't interfere with the "quality of life" standards.

I got another solution, use the glove box and get one of those small vacuum cleaners. That car ashtray isn't even big enough for a good sized cigar (toro, torps, maybe a corona)
 
Slipstream of the window does the trick for me. By the way my everday driver is a Volvo 240 made in 1988. Great car but it is biodegrading around me! Damned Swedes with their "green" plastic that does not last!

I have used my Stinky perched on the passenger seat. I wrapped a towel around the base to keep it steady.

I don't generally smoke in my car and the ashtray is full of change.
Seemed to be a simple solution for a simple problem.
I reckon I could have dumped the change out but the little ashtray is not so effective for stogies.

I am 100% class! :p

Umm....aren't most ashtrays removable so that you can empty them in the trash once you get home. I hate it when people leave piles of cig butts in a parking space :angry:

You said Po Po, that is funny s**t.

And speaking of funny, reading about having the wife hold the ashtray, reminded me of a story I heard years ago. Goes like this.

Guy is driving down I65 and his wife won't shut up. He keeps turning the radio up to drown her out. He comes to his wits end and reaches up for the garage door opener, points it at her, and clicks the button to shut her up. As the story continues, now this fellow has to get out of his car to open the garage door, and somewhere along I65, there is a garage door opener. :D

At my school last year (Moravian College), we called the rent-a-cops MoCo PoPo. :laugh:

I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over for tossing a cigar or ashes out the window...that said I have an ashtray that sits in a cupholder, sometimes I hit the ashtray, sometimes I drop on myself, sometimes I just ash on the floor. I like to try and keep my car clean but it only lasts about a week at a time. :rolleyes:
 
Ashing out your window should be fine. Just watchout for one thing, if you ash out of your window and your car is wet (like from a light rain) and the ash sticks to the moisture it could bleach or lighten that spot. I know because it happened to an old car of mine.
