So what is the weirdest thing you've found in your car? I'll start off... the other day when I pulled the fender off to fix it about 5lbs of mulch fell out on the ground. At one point it was leaves and crap, but who knew a Miata was such a good composter?

^^Yes, I had hundreds of Argentine ants foraging on my a-pillar, windshield, engine bay, and door sills. Fun morning right before work.

Kris had two colonies in his car, one in each soft top drain tube. That was not cool.

i set up one of those syrup trap and they all disappeared the next day.

spraying them just made them mad and multiply.

I found an address book for an orthodontist that lives in San Diego stuffed behind my glovebox a few months ago. I was thinking about trying to call the guy

I found a car title to a 1990 Civic Si inside a Corbeau racing seat I bought from Tommy.
Ran it through a friend at a insurance company and it's still active.

Other than that... I found thongs and sex toys in the trunk of a parts car.
The girl's father sold me the car due to the Atlanta tornados... she looked like she was 15.

Oh even wiereder.. Is that a word? In a previous life I was tech at a ford dealer, I had to put a child seat anchor in the package tray of a Taurus.. And when I popped the trunk it was full of boxes and bags of tampons and pads. The boss said I still had to do it, an woul not ask the customer to come back after they unloaded it, so I had to put them all outin the middle of the shop while I did the job :facepalm:

oh yes, and at some point 10-15 years from now a '05 Mustang from the Avis rental fleet will get torn apart. When the dash gets ripped out, my license will be there. When I was in the military I set my license on the dash as I was coming to a stop at the gate, and it slid down inbetween the gap of the window and the dash. If you stood outside and looked down through the window, you could just barely see it about 6" down... that was a crappy day.

Found a small bag of brown powder and 2 joints. Both looked to have been there a long time. This was in a 72 Ranchero GT when I was active duty. I had been driving the car for almost a year. Found it under the carpet when installing a stereo. Glad the Security Police never ran the dogs through it.

When I lived in DC I took the metro everywhere, so my E30 sat still for weeks at a time. I had been parking it near the garbage dumpster behind my apartment and a family of rats had made a nest in the engine bay, bringing all their food there from the dumpster. The car STANK, and when I opened the hood there were chicken bones, fast food wrappers, and rat turds all over everything. It was a horror show, and it took three power washes just to clean it all out.

I found peanut butter shoved into a stuffed animal with a banana inside of it too. Then upon emptying that out there was a few pieces of bubble gum chewed and stuck to the inside where the peanut butter was. All this was crammed into the center of the spare wheel.

Purchased a used Triumph TR-8 from a retired doctor in 1985. Found a love letter from his wife to him behind the glove compartment. It was a very sweet letter so I called him up, he asked if I could bring it to his house. His wife had died a couple of years earlier.

You would have thought I had given him a check for a million bucks!!

I've found some crazy **** in the side drains when replacing soft tops. Everything from maglites to birth control pills.

As far as my car goes, I found a jar of grape jam that was 15 years past its expiration date. It was with the spare tire tools.

I had bought a civic once that ran kinda crappy so we started doing a regulation tune up. Upon removing the air fliter lid (carbed car) we found a mouse style nuclear stash. The whole air cleaner outside the filter was PACKED with dog food. Good dry storage I suppose. The car suddenly ran much better. $27+ of spare change under the drivers carpet of a Miata was interesting too.

I have found this same condition, but with a blend of dog food and acorns. :lol:
