I was swapping the front seats in my car today and I noticed a lump in the carpet that had been annoying me for a while which i thought was a bit strange. I always thought the actual floor had been pushed up somehow but I hit it and noticed it was squishing in a bit. So I put my hand under the carpet and I found an Interior Dome light plastic cover bit.. the actual plastic dome bit... What the hell! This would of been sitting under my carpet for 12 years from the ford factory... !!
Anyone else found any weird stuff like this? |

Took the carpet out of mine for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I found a 'Made in Australia' tag and a couple of dead moths. Do I win anything?

I literally found nothing under the back seat of the XR. I doubt anybody has sat there all that much since new.

I never found anything quite that good, but I did find a slinky under my back seat. It was a bit squashed however.
And some old KFC chips... I did not eat them, however. |

when i first bought my car i riped up the back seat and found about 5bux, 2 years later done the same thing and found one condom (not used), 2 of my ex girlfriends earings, 4 cigs (i dont let anyone smoke in my car so i dont know how they got there), some maccas fries, a marble, and lots of m&m's. took me about 2 hours to get all the m&m's off the floor with a scraper.
in my corolla i found about 4bux worth of 1 and 2 cent coins, a receipt from 1989 for food (from glenn innes in nsw!) and lots of oil which i spilt.... didnt damage the vinyl seats though. Ehab |

i can't remember what was under my seat but probably not much since I got the car from my parents.
But under the carpet of my dad's old 82 corolla I found a whole bunch of 'The Sun' newspapers someone jammed in there to absorb the water coming through a leak in the floor. I also find heaps of weird shit in Jap cars (particularly R33 skylines) when I pull the door trims off at work. Jap coins, parking/lotto tickets (i can't read them!), weird little plastic toys and nic nacks.............Why can't a APEXI AVCR or a Greddy boost gauge fall out once in a while? |
