Same here.

Check out your lower rear quarter panels behind the wheel well liners. You'll find another five pounds of rocks there.

Rocks are placed there by Mustang owners trying to level the playing field by adding weight to the superior C-6.

I just ran into that too while doing my annual out of storage service. Fired up my air compressor took a long air gun nozzle and got rid of them.

Rock in the engine compartment. Rock in the rear panels. Rock in the cockpit.
