I found $1.39, AC/DC tape, and ink from a blue pen all over the carpet.

Didn't taste them/don't know for sure. That's why I put "variety" in there. They looked like the skinny MickeyD types.

I have a '69 Firebird Convertible and when I pulled out the original carpet there was a retainer (dental device). I don't know why it was under the carpet.

What you ,"bullet finders", found were cartridges. The bullet is only the projectile, a loaded round of modern ammunition is called a ,"cartridge", from the French word, "cartouche", which means, "little packet". I go to the shooting range in my 87 vette and sometimes cartridges get down in between the seats and upon cleaning, I find them, but I bought the 87 used and have found absolutely nothing.

Default Sticky coins

I found a lot of coins stuck together with some dried up goopy substance and lots of dog hair, pretty nasty. I once dropped my keys between the seat and center compartment, what a nightmare. A coat hanger and 30 minutes later I fished it out. It easy to understand why thats a black hole. Normally what goes there stays there !

Bought my wife a 92 triple white vert for her birthday last October. The ONLY thing wrong with it was a bad passenger seat motor. I took the seat out to fix it and found $.85 in change, a pretty nice pocket knife, a golf tee and a spent .22 shell casing. Can't wait to see what's under the driver's seat.

not only is this ****... but it's actually a response

and just so you know, your car isn't an 87, it's a 1987 and it's not a vette, it's a Corvette (unless you own a Chevette).

Does any of this change the fact that we know exactly what was being said? I really doubt it. And they did find bullets, along with primer, powder and casing.


I cleaned out my truck a while back and found the clip for my mini-30 that I thought I lost.

Oops, did I say clip... I mean magazine, even though I've heard 'clip' my entire life and everyone I talk to understands exactly what I mean...

now back to the show...

No I disagree and concur that he was actually lucky they were still wrapped. Reminds me of the Blue Brothers movie when Jake gets his stuff back in prision. "one soiled" that the police officer picked up with a pen. From my view he was lucky that didnt happen lol

When I was 17 I totaled a 91 vette. My dad and I were taking the interior out and under passenger seat was a piece of cardboard from a Bud Light carton. He gave me a odd look and I told him "I don't know how it got there, must have been form the guy that owned it before."

A few months back I was replacing the driverside front window stop in my 95. I found a card from a video store that was from Michigan and I live in Louisiana.

Oh, these cars are notorious for taking your pocket change.

I found loose change, old candy and a fairly large sprocket of some sort under my seats after I bought the car. I also found pens and change under the cupholders in the console area.

I found a weed pipe,some change,and a few petrified french fries.

When I bought my Vette it had a small 5" color tv from the eightys mounted into the dash pad on the passenger side.It was all warped and wasted from 15 years in the AZ. sun.What I discovered was that them had also wired in a vhs vcr in the rear storage compartment.And the 25 lb. brick of a car phone under the pass. seat.This car was pimped out back in the eightys.
