Off Topic: In a crash, everything in your car becomes a weapon

I noticed the dash of this minivan tonight as I trudged across the Oshawa GO lot.

I have to point out that personal storage isn't the purpose of cab-forward design. CD jewel cases, in a high speed crash, can cause extreme facial injuries, and the CDs themselves can slice through skin. Pens, needles and coins can cause eye injuries.

Take a good look at the inside of your vehicle. Use your dashboard compartment for what it was intended. Use your console storage and your trunk. If you have an SUV, buy a cargo net. Just remember, that in a crash, what's in motion stays in motion!
