Found 4 of these in the storage compartment in the back of the vette I just bought. I am sure one of you know what they are??

They are jacking pucks you install them in the jacking location holes prior to jacking the vette. If you don't use them chances are you will crack the rocker panel

Every Vette owner should know what those are! Any time your car needs to get jacked up (oil changes, tire work, etc.) you have to make sure the person doing the work knows what jacking pucks are, and that they need to know if they need to use them.

They're magnesium alloy blend aluminum steel titanium cryptonite disks that contain secret powers. The russian mafia wants them back!
Where did you find them?
If lined up properly, they can grant you 3 wishes!

Not always....it just depends how the car is being raised. I often lift a corner/side of the car with a small floor jack (no jacking pucks) and I don't crack the rocker panels. You just have to be careful where you place the jack.

that's a relatively expensive one compared to the more generic kind, jacking puck. guess the prior owner thought he wouldn't need it for any other car. probably correct.
