Whats the weirdest thing you have found in your car?

It's strange that the wrench would rust so much more than the surroundings. Not even a stain on the surface it rests on.

Weirdest thing I found in an '02 was in the driver's side frame rail of a '71 1600 I had in Dayton, Ohio. There was a quarter-sized rust spot on the low point of the frame rail. I poked it with my finger, which went right through the rust spot. As I peeled back more rusty metal, a couple dozen old partially-composted acorns fell out of the frame rail. Some squirrel had lost his winter's food stash in there.

Tampon.. unused thankfully

I did find, under the back seat, a home burnt latino Hip Hop disc in the 72 inka I had imported from LA. That was kinda funny.

I found a pair of socks, a fossilized sandwich, an old cellphone and a Nintendo game.

when i restored my 74' Automatic, i found the original keys burried deep under the driver side carpet.

I managed to remove the rust on them and used them up until last week when i broke the ignition key...doh !!

I also found a rodent in the rear wheel well. It is pictured in my resto blog...

My wife's 2004 X3 came from the factory with a home made 'techno mix' CD in the player.

Vern has a sticker from a bluegrass festival on his driver side vent window from 1975. $1.13 from various crevices. A parking garage ticket stub from 1973, and numerous golf Ts and little pencils in the trunk.

Haha, the thing people put in these cars!

Oh, I measured the inside diameter and it was just over 12mm, from wall deterioration you can see that the metal expands as it cracks. So I would call 13mm an educated guess.

It's strange that the wrench would rust so much more than the surroundings. Not even a stain on the surface it rests on.

The rust rate bummed me aswell, but there wouldn't be a stain as I cleaned the frame rail with a wire brush and the ratchet was loose in there, so must have slid around. I placed the ratchet back in there later to show its position.

Keep 'em coming, this thread is interesting!

My 2002 had 49 golf T's hidden all around it. What gives?

Not as good as what you guys found, but I found 3 Snap-On screwdrivers and a Snap-On combination wrench in the trunk of a MB 240D I bought for $2800.

Still have the tools, not the car!

Weirdest thing ever found in my car?

Myself.

When I took out the rear seat to clean it, I found lots of mice debris, and 87 cents. But, since someone gave me the car for free, my total cost is -0.87, or in fact the car has paid me! I bought a soda with the proceeds! ;-)

Not really weird but I found some great maps of the US and SF bay area (missing important roads like 280 and 380) from the late 60's and early 70's in my 71. I threw them in the backseat map pocket for that period correct look.

Not really weird but my car came with a Pioneer AM/FM/8 track and a Linda Ronstadt tape in the glovebox. Sadly it wouldn't work.
