The only thing I have lost was my Colibri S cutter and my Xikar Trezo lighter.
The wife and I was out one day and as per usual I had already cut one and had ashed it. She decided to stop at a gas station to get gas and since we was parked I rolled down my window because it was fairly hot. I got out to pump her gas and she went inside to grab us some drinks. By the time she got back the tank was topped off. We get back on the interstate and making good time. I keep a rubberized pad on the dash on the passenger side as it holds my crap while shes driving. She tends to fill all the nice little holder spots with her junk like drink, glasses, Phone ect. Any how being the wonderful driver that she is (Cough Cough...Lead Foot) we was coming up on our exit which was on the left side. I would love to shoot the engineer that came up with that sh*t... Any how, it came up faster than what she realized because I guess she was (Cough Cough...daydreaming.) She makes the left at (Bat out of Hell speeds). Needless to say I was no where near fast enough. The cutter and lighter took off across the dash like it was in Smurfs on Ice and right out the window like it had a purpose. We did turn around and went back to where we thought we was when my crap decided to sing ( I believe I can Fly) but no luck.
Both of those Items meant a great deal to me. A gentleman that I have mentioned on the forums here before, An old work colleague and best friend had given me those as a 17th anniversary gift. I loved the feel of both, they had weight to them and you could tell when using them you was using something substantial. What really makes me feel bad about it all is I have not had the balls to tell him what happened to them. So yep there is my story. Live and Learn... Never sit your **** on the dash with the window down no matter what item holder you have especially when the wife is driving.
