So when i bought the car, i realized at some point that the car did not come with the jackstand stick to twist it and the lug nut wrench. but the jackstand was in the left side trunk where it was suppose to be. i thought this was strange because it was a very well kept car and i didn't think the owner would just "lose" the other parts.

well today, while looking for possible leak spots, i pulled back the trunk liner on the side and i see some black leather thing behind the jackstand stand. so i was like and pull it out. and lo and behold, it's the jackstand stick and the lug wrench and it was in the original (?) black leather case. it's funny how i thought that i never had it for almost 2 years now and it just suddenly turns up now. well now i feel much safer driving around incase my car decides to get a flat. (knocks on wood)

so anybody discover anything randomly in their cars? maybe even after a few months when you thought you knew everything about your car

When I was cleaning out my S13 I found the previous owners expired drivers license, as well as a Zippo lighter with his name engraved in it.

When I pulled the blower motor out of my CRX to figure out why it made noise I discovered a pair of Vice grip locking pliers. I still use them to this day.

I dont remember finding anything cool in my S14.

When I bought one of Civics I used to own it had a bumper sticker on it that said. "Do not medal in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup".

i found a bunch of **** in my rear quarter panels.. old coke cans and some screws and shards of glass-i think the rear winsheild was broken and then replaced but no one cleaned up the glass really, and a shoelace which i guesss used to hold the gass tank door in. it was all a really dusty blur haha.

a bunch of receipts. i think one was for a RB25... thought that was pretty cool. I also found a bunch of old papers, one from the original owner that traded in like a sentra or something to a nissan dealership for the 240. i think it came out to like $14,000 for the car + trade in, lol i wish i got to see my car back then in 89.

A little off topic, because its not a 240sx... but I found two old condoms in the wrapper under the dash of my 1964 Chevy. They looked like a super old brand from the 70's or 80's. ha ha.

oh jesus, a 240 time capsule.

Apart from all the cat hair I found (thank jeebus it didn't smell like cat piss) I found a little rubber piece. I kept it for about 8 months before figuring out what it was for. It's the little rubber piece that goes between the mirror arm and the glass to help with the vibration I suppose.

I found something resembling a urinal cake behind the drivers seat. I think it was a bathroom air freshener. Either way it wasn't very fresh.

Yeah I found a broken bowl under my center console. Looked like it was there for a while. Funny thing is, the previous owner was a cop.

I found what must have been an entire package of french fries in the vents. I've pulled the dash and the entire vent system out and to this day every time i clean my car an old, dried up french fry shows up from somewhere.
