Default New Aveo Owner, got a question.....

I'm a new '04 Aveo owner. The car istelf is used, obviously. I was looking through it the other day, playing with all the gizmos etc. I noticed on the driver's dorr a little slot, which looks like something should click into place. I asked my saleswoman, and she didn't know what it was used for. I was thinking that you could put your coffee mug or something there. Does anyone know what is supposed to go in there?

Thanks

The little slot in the door is supposed to be a toll ticket holder. It's one of the little "features" that they tout on the Aveo, along with the sunglass holder above the door. Oh, and BTW, what's the miles on your car? If it's over 50k miles, and you don't have any records on the timing belt, have it replaced. This engine is carry over from the old Daewoo Lanos, and has a history of premature timing belt failures. This engine is an "interference" type engine, and belt failure will result in major engine damage.
