	http://www.foxnews...idden-in-new-cars/ Saw this article today, did a bit of research, and find there's a whole mess of cars doing these, especially Jeep/Chrysler. I also know Vaxhaull hid a shark in their glove compartment, supposedly on a dare. Also, Vipers have track maps of Nurburgring and Laguna SECA hidden in the interiors. Was wondering if anyone on here found any nifty Easter Eggs on their cars or know of any others. PS-- Find it funny on the Chrysler 200 that the GM building is missing from that skyline shot.

	I believe the headlights of the Ford GT look like "100" in recognition of Ford's 100th anniversary.
	Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

	MK5 VWs have a ruler hidden under the dash trim above the glove box- I don't have any idea why, but it's there.

Because once a ruler is used once, its no good anymore!

	I found some black-eyed peas under the battery in my wife's Beetle. Dunno if that counts. In my Jeep, the cover for the owner's manual is Army green. Kind of a nod to their past.

What year is your Jeep? Apparently the folks at Jeep (at least in recent years...dunno how far back any of this goes) went nutso on the Easter Eggs, including a LOT of nods to their heritage. I know the newer Jeeps have a few nods to the Willys-era Jeeps hidden about (for instance, the silhouette of the Willys-era Jeep in the corner of the windshield and 40's Jeeps appearing on the parking-assist screen).

It's a 2005 Liberty. I have been all through that thing and never seen anything else that could be called an Easter Egg. Maybe I should take a closer look. My son has a '97 Wrangler, though. Maybe that has some.

	The 2015 Renegade apparently has about 45,000 easter eggs.

	I found this one today as I was scrapping some of my old parts cars. It was buried behind insulation, behind the steering column.

	I noticed the other day, the Porsche Cayenne key resembles a tiny Cayenne.

	Harvestman and Bandi, both things I never noticed before. I think one of my personal favorites is the Vauxhall shark.

	here's one not very many people know, Even ones who own the car. The BMW E36 Sedan has a spot for holding a bar of soap built into the rear trunk plastic. Why? I guess one of the designers had a hobby of taking hikes, and thought a soap holder made sense. haha

The E46 should have had a holder for hair gel!
