maybe because the material can catch fire? you know there are always idiots out there... hence the warning makes it pretty obvious..

It says that because ashtrays are options on cars now and this is where the ashtray would be.

I use it to put my ear-rings in. It reminds me of the inside of a jewelery box.

It may not apply in the state... but in Canada, not all coins can fit into those slot... I use it for storing coins as well.

I keep a small microfiber eyeglasses cleaner in there to wipe off my fingerprint magnet of a navi screen.

Perhaps when I upgrade my Tein SSs to Flexs, I'll mount my EDFC controller there .
