and in the trunk (on top of the spare tire) was a plastic bag full of tools. a 1/4 and 3/8" ratchet, and several sockets and wrenches. All mastercraft and craftsman -- lifetime warranty! lol
well, i was GONNA say that's a sweet come-up....but then this guy pretty much blew you out of the water....

ORIGINAL: NightFlight

Back in 1974, I picked up a '72 BMW 3.0 CSI at an estate auction. I'd been driving it for a month or so, and while driving and daydreaming I was playing around with the e-brake boot between the two front bucket seats. Hmmm...felt something in there...When I got back to my place I peeled the boot off, and holy sh*t!, a little Baretta .32ACP 'palm pistol' was in there!
Still got the Baretta, wish to hell I still had the CSI...

lol, I'd wouldn't be suprised if the current owner of the trans am has found something along those lines... I only owned the car for about 4500 miles. I still talk to the guy, I should ask him. That car was crazy, and like I said, drug dealer previous owner...

Did you see the "Pimp My Ride" where they were pulling the dash out this girl's car, and a LIVE RAT was hangin' on the backside of it?

It was alive? Holy hell... that is freaking bizarre! I will tear my dash apart to find a rattle (and likely make new rattles in the process) -- I don't know how somebody could deal with an animal in their car.

the strangest thing ive found in any of my cars was in the a6. it was right when i got it, i looked around in it, under pass side seat. there was a all steel flash light, with the top part (that u screw off to put batteries in) was broken right off, like someone got smashed with it. funny thing is, that i took the 2 wires comin out the head, and connected it to the proper clips in the steel tube, and it worked (batteries were still in it aswell)
