Default Where do you keep your owners manual?

I know this is kind of a stupid question but I was just curious where my fellow 3GS owners are storing thier owners manual. As you know the giant leather binder with all of those different guides and manuals doesn't fit in the glove box, so where do you put it? In the trunk?

I took out the "Quick" guides, put them in the glove compartment and have the rest of it on my nightstand with intentions of reading it some day,...

I found that there is a strap in the right side of the truck where the 1st aid kit and that manual book strap in together nicely

I got this idea from GSteg and now my manual goes there too. Good to see it still works on the 3GS.

Hum... the area in the trunk sounds awesome! I think I am going to result to that soon, its one of those things I will never need BUT I want to have for no good reason. lol

Right now I have the quick guides, etc in the glove box and the main manual in the center console. The rest of the crap like window stickers and stuff are at home.

Right now, mine's on the floor in the back. I actually consulted it yesterday -- I was looking for info on the key you give to a parking valet (not that there's anything in the glove compartment or trunk worth stealing )

Actually it DOES. Just take out the Lemon Law guide and the warranty guide and it will fit snuggly but fine in the upper part of your glove compartment. I have little use for either of those, so I put them some place else.

Um, must be another "secret" feature of the '08 models. My new '08 GS has a slot in the top portion of the glove box specifically for the manual. Since I have never owned another Lexus, I didn't realize this was a problem in older models, and didn't fully appreciate the improvement.

The 07s are the same, its just that even with that slot... IT DOESN'T FIT!!! lol

Mine are not located under my home A/V cabinet. I like a clean car, so all of that isn't needed. Plus all the other misc. stuff like wheel lock # and so on are there as well.
