Re: Found something interesting in one of my new sport seats

I got a pair of sport seats that Im recovering with rob, but the passenger side is in pretty good condition and is black, so i decided to clean it up and put it in. So i cleaned it, black leather polished it, and as I was taking it off the stand, a coin fell out. I thought it was a penny, but i picked it up, and it was 10 pfenning from 1977. I just thought it was interesting that a coin must have been dropped into the seat when the car was made, and now I found it. Just thought it was strange and cool and figured i'd share.

Now I know you can pay more!!!!

All I found under my seats was some change (enough to buy lunch though!) pens, usual crap...but if you want a "crap under seat" story, here goes...

Remember, I have been a stereo installer since 1980, I have seen LOTS of weird shit.

Brand new Cadillac, somewhere around 1987. Couldn't tell you which one now, but was NEW, like 2 or 3 miles on it. Woman brought the car straight from the dealer to the shop where I was working to get an alarm. Easy enough, 2 hours later she took off. She called the next morning complaining of a rattle in the back seat. I patiently explained we didin't even open the rear doors, much less do anything in her back seat. I told her she was welcome to bring it in, we will take a look, see what we find. Long story shorter, ended up going on a test ride with her, sure enough, a big nasty rattle in the back over any bump.

Took the seat out...found a 1 pint paint can, hanging from some coathanger wire, with like 3 or 4 lugnuts in it. Too damn weird for words! This was between the sound deadning insulation and the seat, hanging from a seat mount. If you knew about it, you probably could have felt it from the outside of the seat.

Obviously, someone at the factory did this...we all laughed, she was kinda miffed, took the car back to the dealer along with the evidence. We nerver heard any more about it, but she sent her daughter in for an alarm too, and damn she was HOT!

I've always wanted to find like crack or something in my car, Kirstie Alley used to be a big druggie. havent found anything cool besides an old silver dollar.

Speaking of finding things I like to visit this Euro race shop that used to be a BMW dealer back in the 80s. He has all this storage and when he has his son clean it out I get the swag. I got those massive RD swaybars (that were dicontinued in the early 90s) and braces. I also got a snazzy red t-shirt from 1987 that was still in the plastic wrap.

dam ryan, you get all the cool stuff. Next time David or Mark gives you something cool, be like "nah, i gotta buddy that would probably want this" and i bet they still wont give me anything.

When I worked at the dealer I found some South African change on the floor of a brand new South African production E46 when I was getting it ready for delivery.

In the back of this girls red E36 I once found a thong that had girl cum juice stains all over the crotch area, and a home pregnacy test under the spare tire.

Must have been a fun night!!!!

Trent then sniffed them, framed them, and hung them on his bedroom wall.

wow..... much too graphic.

I've stripped my interior completely bare when I was replacing everything. Everything from the carpet to the headliner was out and I didnt find a single thing!... I mean, that's cool and everything, I like having a clean car...but damn, everyone else gets all this cool stuff.

I took the seats out of the IS to be greeted by tons of tiny little glass pieces. Seems as though someone broke one or more windows in the back of that car before, and they did a half assed job cleaning it up.

Just today I found ONE little piece of glass in the trunk...

Amazing.

other than that, I've stripped both car's interiors, and didn't find anything either. ;)
