I found Stacker capsules.

 

small bag of weed and a pipe in the console in one, a small pink vibrator [used] under the passenger seat in another, and your assorted mix of condoms [new thankfully] and loose change.

 

i found a couple very old joints when i took the interior out

 

just your typical random french fry, some change, and some receipts

 

During the restoration process of my 1970 Z-28 Camaro I was removing the carpet and found the typical dropped interior screws a few 1960's coins that probably fell out of the workers pocket, and in the footwell of the passenger seat, I discovered a bullet hole. Obviously, someone in the passenger seat or outside the car fired a round and it went through the carpet, sheetmetal, and missed the exhaust, engine, and suspension. Under the car you could see the sheet metal peeled outward from the bullet. Who would fire a round off in a car? I hope no one was hurt.....

Odd that I saw this thread. I just pulled a severely rusted pair of pliers out of my passenger side rocker panel. I had to unscrew passenger fender and use an extendable magnet to pull them out. Hope that takes care of that annoying ratteling I heard from the passenger side.

Many years ago when I purchased my first C4 ( 87 ) the drivers seat would only go back so far and then jam up. After taking the seat out i found out what my problem was........
a huge heavy linked Mens Gold Bracelet. It was chewed up a bit but it wound up being $225.00 worth of scrap gold !

 

I rented a Jeep Cherokee for a day when I was in tech School so I could drive aimlessly around San Antonio for a day once when i got a weekend pass. It costs about $40 to rent for the day and I found a coin purse with $60 in it under the drivers seat. Rented the truck, bought diner and still made like $10

 

Would you elaborate on how you made that determination.

 

Wow... how were they??

 

I found lots of change and some of those propel packets you put in bottled water. LOL

 

no clue... i threw the away - i'm military
besides, even if i wasn't & didn't get sick at the thought of smoking anything, these had been wet & dried so many times, i couldn't imagine anything good would've come from lighting them up

 

I found a .22 magnum over/under derringer tucked under the dash of an old dodge truck I bought used.I had it for year before I accidently found it.

 

nice! i wish i could find a gun. i keep finding other stuff that runs my monies down before i can buy a gun - usually car parts

 

my car was clean

 

I worked at a Mercury Lincoln dealership and we would find a lot of tools in the cars from the factories in the late 70's and 80's. When they came back for warranty work complaining about rattles......it was on to find out which tool was left in it!

 

I live in Virginia, flew to Kansas City to buy the car.

These are stamped 5.7. I am by no means a gun expert. I own a few and shoot for fun and amateur defensive pistol comps. I snowed these rounds to a local expert who believes they are "cop killers" and even he laughed at using that phrase. Reminds me of "Lethal Weapon 4". Anyways, he told me the tip is designed to keepbthe bullet aerodynamic and has a side effect of being able to sometimes pierce a bullet proof vest by separating the Kevlar threads and penetrating rather than mushrooming on impact. I've also watched a couple Discover Channel type specials that demonstrated these in slow motion.

Either way- I actually hope it's not realistic for these to be able to pierce a vest and place our law enforcement officers in more danger. I wish speeding Corvettes were their only worries!

 

I use ballastic tip bullets from Nosler a lot due to high velocity needs but those don't look like them. I agree totally that they should never be used for anything other than the intended purpose therefore hunting or target shooting which bench-rest is all I do.

 

me too, found nothing in my 04. found some loose change in my 78 when i started the interior restore a couple of years ago, assorted nuts and bolts and 1/2 of a craftsman 1/2 open end wrench. i figure someone had chopped it in to to get it into tighter spaces. all in all, rather boring. the loose change didn't even add up to a dollar, lol! i would have thought after 26 years i would have found more, particularly for the condition of the car.

 

He's half right. Basically, the polymer-tipped design is intended to allow you to use a hollowpoint bullet but maintain the aerodynamics of a typical pointed bullet profile. Also, when it hits something, the polymer tip pushes back into the hollow and assists in expansion. So it's kinda a win/win best-of-both-worlds design. A pic from Hornady's website:



Anyway, they have no purpose as "cop killers" or anything of the sort (just like the old myth of the "black talon" cop killer bullets). These are just stories made up by the anti-gun crowd to try to demonize guns.

Polymer tipped bullets are used in many different applications, not just the 5.7. Hornady's website has 3 pages of calibers that they offer this design in: http://www.hornady.com/store/V-MAX-bullets/
