I found a big bucket thing of gummi bears in the trunk. Like the big clear ones that weigh about 5 pounds. Anyways it was back there and me living in Arizona, they had all melted together to form one giant gummi I had to break the bucket to get it out. lol

just because you dont have to push in your clucth to start your car doesnt mean your car used to be an automatic. the ecu doesnt have anything to do with it either. gosh!!!! lol.

Maybe the pink colour from the glasses stained the spare?

In my coupe i always wondered why the headliner was missing when i first got the car... the following day it rained and i had to work in the morning. So i get in my car and start to drive.. and then a river of water falls right on my lap.. then i discovered why it was missing.

also found a bunch of sockets and some change.. nothing special.

I bought my vert with a blown up motor... the girl that owned it before me got hooked on crack and she never changed the oil...guess crack > a running car to her. When gutting the interior I found one glass crack pipe half crushed under the ash tray, one metal crack pipe stuck under the carpet in the passenger footwell and another metal crack pipe under the back seat. I also found about 20-25 empty crack baggies. Guess my car used to be a rolling crack house...lol. On a lighter note, I found the little red valet key under the carpet, two hello kitty barrettes, half a pack of menthol Marlboro's and a comb.

When I bought my 240 I found a sealed condom and a $20 bill in the sun visor pocket on the driver side. Funny thing is I bought my car from a wife of a wealthy business man and she didnt work, or did she?!?!

While installing my Sub in my S13.. I checked for any garbage/trash in the spare tire compartment.... Somehow I ended up looking in the QuarterPanel compartments.. (Jack area). And noticed something like a bottle.. Come to find out.. there were three Sams Club water bottles one open.. two brand new.. I was a little parched.. So I enjoyed.. Thx to the previous owner for the refresh ment..
