What is the logic of that "not an ashtray?" It's not a vacuum cleaner either.
Couldn't Acura/Honda found a better way to use that space?

 

I put change there

 

It's a lipstick holder. But they couldn't call it that because then the men would think that the TSX was a girl's car.

 

HAHA, a lipstick holder?! Thats got to be the funniest thing I've heard in a while. I too, use it to hold change.

 

It could be an ashtray if it wasn't felt lined. I put my cell phone there, or toss spare change.

 

That is where I keep my security badge for work and a bluetooth headset.

 

that thing is ghetto IMO, some people said it's cute.

 

Whenever I put my phone down there it always messes with my radio and I get that buzz sound on my speakers.

 

There's sale going on, you can turn it to an ashtray for $85 before shipping!

Just don't put your "stash" in there! Felt makes your "good green" taste like felt.
At least thats what a friend told me.......

 

You must have Nextel!

 

Thread# 31284 dedictaed to not-an-ashtray

 

I use it for my change........

 

I use it to store spare change too but it's a PITA to take the change out when it gets filled. I just did this 2 days ago and it took a few minutes to keep scooping the change out.

I like storing my change in an ashtray better because you can just lift the damn thing out to bring it in the house when it's time to empty it into the "master" change container.

 

I was just about to say the very same!

 

It's only for pennies in my car. All the other change has a place in the arm rest.

 

It's an ashtray in other countries I'm sure.

 

 

I use it for storing all of my spare keys that I don't want to hang off of the car key. The lining of the tray prevents the keys from sliding around during hard cornering. Not that any of us TSX drivers would ever do such a thing.

 

"not an ashtray" in the smae sort of way as "coffee is hot"

i'm sure had it not say not an ashtray, some moron would have used it as an ashtray and set his car on fire already.

 

I used mine for loose change. Now that I started modding the Navi for video, its housing the PIE aux switch and two remote eyes for DVD player and TV tuner.

 

i don't like it when people place restrictions on me, so i use it for an ashtray. ha! take that, acura.

 

I'm another 1 that uses it 4 change...

 

My tin of Eclipse mints fits perfectly in there.

 

.....good call!

 

Same here. "Not an ashtray"? I say "Is an ashtray", now how you gonna stop me? I lined it with foil and I put my cigar in there and it makes it very easy to empty -- perfect location. Not an ashtray . . .

 

Mine's a vacuum cleaner.

 

Why don't they put ash trays in cars any more? I hate it when smokers have to liter..........

 

i remember laughing to myself when i first saw the "not an ashtray" label.

eh...i just use to keep my work id and garage pass for work.

 

They offer it as an option. Guess they figured out that they could make more money charging for it.

 

I assume it's a "politically correct move" to discourage smoking.

BTW, I did find a use for the not an ashtray. I put onion dip in it, and the bag of Ruffles potato chips in the center console space. Very convenient.

 

All those crumbs

 

well i think acura is anti-smoking-in-cars becuase you dont get a cigarette car lighter either? WTF!? do they know what a bitch it is to drive a car, hold a lighter, and try and light a cigarette, all while rolling up and down the window so ur lighter doesnt get blown out and so u dont hotbox ur car either

 

I use mine for toll money

 

i dremeled mine out and put a sirus starbase controller in there

 

nice vasu!

 

i might make a secret compartment for my gatt

 

Used to hold a small microfiber cloth to clean the navi screen

 

i like this idea. but please, tell me acura had some reason for making this thing the ugly bright red that it is?

 

I guess it so that people would notice the material and realize your not supposed to put your cigarettes in there.

Somebody once made a good point, but I forget who it was. Many of us don't like the big "not an ashtray" written on the tray and the color of the material. But if Honda didn't write that on there and the material was black, how many people do you think would be putting out their cigarettes in that tray?
