ooops!

I was in the drive thru in my one month old 2023 Camaro and I put some change on the console next to the shifter and it slid under my vent! Any way to retrieve it?

Put it in sport mode and push the throttle all the way to the floor as fast as you can?

You forgot to tell him to lock up the brakes so the change will slide to the front.

Had the same thing happen to me, 2 dollars worth of quarters disappeared in 5 sec., I was just hoping it wasnt causing problems wherever it went. ha

Can't answer your question, but to prevent that from happening, I took a small black microfiber towel, cut it in half and placed it in front of my shifter. I used a zip tie to push the edge of the towel underneath the vents, looks pretty good.

Thanks everyone! It was only a dime and 2 quarters I hope it won't end up as a rattle or some other problem!

It's the hidden built-in slot machine, if nothing came out when you dropped the coins, you didn't win

I got a piece of black tubing and ran it from side to side to block it off. This after my wife put a ring on the console and it slid through the gap. You can take the console up by removing some screws at the back under the front edge of the back seat.

losing change in the car is typically a problem for corvette owners.

Interesting - never seen that before. I put pockets on the side of the trans tunnels for storage:
