When you have a weighty object on the front passenger seat, just buckle up the seat belt and no beeping.

Hey! Who said you could spout common sense all over the place just coz you felt like it?!?
I find the seat-belt helps to stop sh!t falling on the floor when some a$$hole jumps out in front of me, too. Amazing how useful those things are....

I always put my groceries on the floor and if it's something that's too big for that space, it goes in the back - like my propane tanks.

I find that inevitably the bag falls over and the apples or cans or whatever roll out and get everywhere.

Almost always. I count on that happening. I try to "corral" the bags with the gallon(s) of milk.

Sorta back on topic (is there even a topic here anymore?), I spilled 7-11 Slurpees on my passenger seat a couple of times before when the lid was not closed properly... Hard to keep it balanced, and putting them in the cupholders for a short trip is just a PITA...

So I used my flexible gorillapod camera tripod, wrapped around the seat's top harness holes, to act as a hook to hold on the loops of the plastic bag that holds the Slurpees! Amazing what a little ingenuity can do

Isn't it easier to just remove the headrest, slide the handles over one hole, and put the headrest back in?
Oh, that's right - you don't have "Headrests" as such.... nemmind!

That's using the ole' noodle, Sail. Now can you tell me what to do with those 53 compartments??? Office xerox paper boxes (and now Girl Scout cookie cartons, too) make good floor organizers to keep your fruit sacks from rolling.

The coin slots are used for quarters in my car. Each slot holds enough quarters for 1 toll, so I don't have to count the quarters, I just grab a slot and throw them. The Yaris was built around safety, so they are put in front of the driver so they don't have to take their eyes off of the road to find the quarters.

I buckle my backpack up to keep it safe when I'm driving. Again, the Yaris was built around safety (I don't want my backpack hitting me or flying out of my car in a wreck and hitting someone else).

Way to go Toyota, keeping safety in mind all the way around!
