I always keep an extra door key in the glove compartment in case I get locked out of the car. My wife asked me how I would get to the key if I was locked out? I told her, it's a convertible, and I never put the top up. Duh!

When I started taking the 74 apart, I was undoing the rear crossmember and heard a rattle. A plastic spoon was in there, maybe they were on a snack break when they were assembling my car.....lol

At least you found a key that matches the door locks, Mike. That's cool.
When I pulled the carpet up in mine, I found a small pair of vice-grips laying alongside the #2 body mount location, 43 cents in change, and a very dusty, unlit, filtered cigarette.
Bubba's still scratching his head wondering where he put those pliers and that cigarette...
Thanks for the vice-grips Bubba. They had a little surface rust and after I cleaned them up, still work like a charm.

What my wife found in my car , my wife rarely enters my Vette , she hates the noise and ride. I rarely have anybody else in it either.One day when she did get in she reaches to grab for the seat belt and she pulls out a tampon 
for the life of me I had no idea how it got there, well she didn't buy that one! Then I remembered that about 3 year ago I gave a girl co-worker a short ride and she was thrilled , I had forgotton all about it but I do remember that when she was getting in she spilled the contents of her pocket book all over the front floor, obviously she did not pick up all of her spilled items. Sure took a long time to get that trust factor back with the wife , she started looking at me twice when I would say Honey, I'm going out for a Vette ride for a few hours.
