Default Where do you put your owner's manual?

Looks like the owner's manual won't fit in glove box. Do you guys put in trunk? Seat back pocket? CL search found nothing ... so ... Where do you put your owner's manual?

Edit for summary:
Looks like for those with NAV they mostly leave at home. Some put in trunk and others squish/jam in the glove box.

Fo the Nav-less, it fits fine in the glove box.

No where, it's too big and clunky (Nav/ML model) to leave in my car. I paged through it once when I first got it. Now it sits under my TV stand at home.

Mine have the Nav CD reader in the glovebox so no room for the manual.

i had the same problem..it actually takes a little strength if you want it to fit in the glovebox..what you do is shove it into the top left compartment (above the divider and to the left of the Nav DVD module)..it helps if the flap on the leather carrying case is closed faced downward while you insert the bottom end in first (opposite of the flap side)..once you get it to fit, you'll understand exactly what i'm saying.......something along the lines of PAT keyholes

+1, fits fine where the clunky dvd readers and such go in those pitiful nav models.

Brain
Actually, at home in a drawer. Can't leave anything in the car since I have to keep every console open in order to avoid someone instantly breaking in after I leave it. I doubt it would fit in the glove box with the leather manual holder though...

The compartment in the glove box (top left) is obviously made to fit the manual. It fits perfectly.
