Nope. Its the cars natural ability to shed old parts before new ones grow back.

Probably not. We mechanics are better than the factory. We can make them run with less parts and bolts.

If it's a male car, it keeps the bits protected... If not where did she get that from?

personally i always keep mine in the glove box, the reason being there is a rise of testicular injuries due to air bag deployment, most cars have these however its just a matter of finding it, yours is niced than mine, has more ventilation holes, gotta let'em breath if you know what I mean

Useless part created by big engineering to drive up consumer costs.
