Agreed!  This will go into the FAQ when I finally get it organized...

I tend to use my ashtray for a changeholder.  Some people have even 
recommended turning the bottom part of the ashtray around so that the
deep portion of the ashtray is underneath the sliding door.  Supposedly,
the only draw when doing this is that the small "light" becomes blocked.
