Subtitle: There is a very specific kind of quiet peace that happens when you finally turn off the car engine after a long drive. You sit there for a moment in the driveway, listening to the ticking of the cooling engine, just taking a deep breath before heading inside.

Let me tell you about the first time I noticed the weird gap between my car cup holders.

I was sitting in my driveway, waiting for my eyes to adjust to the garage light, and I found myself staring down at my center console. Right between and next to my cup holders, there was a weird little rectangular gap, and sometimes a deeper slot at the bottom.

For years, I just assumed it was a poorly designed seam where crumbs went to die. I'd try to clean it out, but it was impossible. I assumed it was just a design flaw.

But then I learned that it actually has a purpose.
