Default Finding strange stuff in your S2000?

I usually buy all my cars as used with a few years on them. So that obviously means someone owned them before I did, and sometimes they lose stuff inside the car, and I get to find it! I just swapped out the OEM stereo for a new Alpine deck. When I popped off the trim panel, what do I find behind it? Two used ticket stubs to the Vancouver Auto Show and a bobby pin! I'm quite sure I'm the first person to ever have that panel off, yet there's all this stuff behind it?

When I got my 240SX year ago, it was about three years old. In that car I found $1.35 in change, a $100 gold pen, and an un-used 12 gauge shotgun shell. It's like an easter egg hunt when I get a new car. So what have you found in your cars?

Chris.

it wasn't me - but some guy on the Audiworld forums found an empty german candy box under his seat. He posted some pics of it. Kind of funny. At least it wasn't an empty bottle of Oktoberfest.

ha!
when i used to work for Hoffman Porsche Audi in CT, we had a customer complain of a rattle coming from the rear of her new week-old A6. When we couldnt find what was causing it after 2 visits and hours of searching, test-driving etc someone suggested for the hell of it to lower and check the gas-tank. So sure enough we found what it was
A empty bottle of some german beer. True story !

I found 2 cd's in mine. One was left in the head unit and I found it the first day I bought the car. The second one, however, I didn't find until about four months later. And it was still wrapped from the store!

i know it not my car im talking about, but i might as well contribute

when i was about 10 or 11 my dad messed up his car somehow so he decided to go to the car wreckers junk yard to find new parts and stuff so he brought me, my cousin jess and my sister too. even though we were all girls, he didnt want u staying home alone so we gave in and went. whilst we were there, we decided to rummage through cars and see what we could find and we found 'poo change' and nudie magazines in most but then my cousin jess ran off to this old ugly brown POS car. the windscreen was smashed and it definantly looked as if it had been in a huge smash where someone had died. to freak the shit out of us even more, the front seat was bloodstained and scary. we went to look in the boot and it was filled with thousands of letters. We were curious so we decided to read the letters and they were all from a guy who was writing to his mother. He was on heroin and was trying to come clean and his mother didn

I have found lots of cool stuff....but the coolest by far was when I bought an old 90' 240SX. I found a "playboy" business card and a torn letter. Curiosity got the best out of me and the letter was offering someone an opportunity to be a model for playboy........ .....
