Otherwise it defeats the purpose of calling it a glove box. If gloves are not in this box it would be more accurate to describe that volume as a passenger compartment.

If car manufacturers didn't always include 500 page novels and put them in there then there might be room for gloves. If anything the glovebox should be called the manual-box

Of course, in most modern cars it's called the automatic box.

Due to legislation, it's now the semi-automatic box.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
