LMAO! i did the same thing i didn't know what the hell it was for, then later found out it was for that too, i saw it on a pic here on nico. THANKS NICO!!! but anyways yeah i found a texas lottery ticket and in the manuals there was the original owners info, he bought the car in august of 89 also found the warranty for the paint protectant they put on it, i guess that stuff works because my paint still looks great!

PEEP PEEP!

About a quarter oz. of weed under the console and pennies. Pennies in (and under) the front seat, back seat, door panels, console, glove box, etc. Later on found a craving for ....."Snickers"...... (??~**~!!)

I don't have any epic stories like some people on here. But I found atleast 100 McAllisters straws in my trunk, a random Tomb Raider card, a breaker bar. I guess the car had been broken into when the previous owner had it, he said they took the subs and the SAFC he had in it. But I found the SAFC, it was just chilling under the center console in front of the shifter. Haha.

Sunday while I was doing my thermostat and timing fix, I found a magnetic box with a house key, spare key, valet key, and a key chain from some auto shop in Deleware. Would have really helped me keep my $50 after I locked my only key I knew of in the car one night.

It was behind the bumper on the metal part. I had my bumper off twice and I thought it was an airbag sensor, until it fell off when I dropped a tool down there.

When I bought my primer gray '87 hardbody 4x4 I found shells from from 9 different firearms including 12 and 20 gauge shotgun, 7 mm and 22 cal rifle and 9 mm pistol. Probably 50 shell and a few loaded 22 bullets.I'm told the guy was caught poaching deer and so his truck was taken and sold at auction.

I found out people still couldn't see a bright red zenki.

When I first got the car I found a picture of the previous owner, some kitty litter in the trunk and a questionable stain on the back seat.

I was taking out my stock radio and heard some jingling in there. So I opened it up to find 5 dollars worth of pennies, nickles, and dimes. I also found a squeeze bottle of coconut creme behind the rear speaker (its a vert).

When I bought my first car, I found a half drunk bottle of makers mark under the passenger seat.

My WRX came with a rented copy of some will smith romantic comedy.

When I worked at Tires Plus, we used to find the craziest stuff you could imagine. Mice in hubcaps, airboxes, under valve covers.While looking for a ladies wheel lock key, I found a huge stash of p0rn and dildos in her trunk.I started to do an oil change on a damaged car, once I had it in the air, I realized that the whole bottom of the car was covered in blood and tissue and hair. All of which did not look like animal. Needless to say we called the cops and they took the car.

I found a diaper and some coco oil in my trunk when I got my car. While I was working at an audio shop, I would find guns shoved under seats and in the dashboard and s***, also found many bags of weed and other assorted goodies.lol

A bit off topic, but something that I found in my car recently... I come out to my car one morning recently and sit down to start it... look over and the passenger side floor was "reflecting"...I take a closer look and discover it's flooded... So I start looking around to see if my window was down or their was a leak... but I found nothing. Then I look closer at the water and see it's not clear... it's dark brown. Soda? So I looked around for a bottle or can and again find nothing. Had to get to work so I left it till that evening. I go to clean it out.. expecting to find evidence of the soda or whatever it was in other places.... All I ever found was the liquid on the floor both in front of the seat and behind the seat but Not on Anything else! And no clue as to where it came from. It hadn't been their the night before and I locked the car as always. It's like soda materialized in my car an inch above the floor. Anyway that's my story...
