vehicles can be tricky. some people keep theirs very clean, and some very messy. if you are the latter, here is a list of seven things that can be minimalized from your vehicle today:
- trash (obviously)
- napkins/kleenex (how many do you really need anyway?)
- pens/pencils
- coins (leave a few of each)
- cds (the ones you don’t listen to anymore)
- maps (just bring ‘em when you need ‘em)
- expired insurance/registration documentation
honorable mentions:
- toys
- coffee mugs
- air fresheners
- texting

I love it! I will definitely be back! Thank you so much for visiting my new site! And for your kind words as well! :)
Nice post!
On coins in the car: I would note that in the cities I frequent, most have meters that don’t take anything smaller than quarters, and I can also use the quarters for tolls. I don’t smoke, so I keep a stash of quarters hidden in the ashtray. No other coins allowed, since they don’t do any good!
Also, I suggest you don’t leave any money visible: someone broke a window on my ex-husband’s car to get to a small amount of visible change.
It’s amazing how much ‘stuff’ accumulates in our cars.

Minimizing is not only healthier (getting rid of trash), but it feels good too – I wonder if there is a term for this, something like “vehicular self-esteem” :-)
