Trying to track down a rattle in an '07 Wrangler. While we had looked the vehicle over pretty well when buying and cleaning, the light was just right yesterday for me to see into some U-shaped thing in the front bumper assembly. Didn't measure, but these needle nose pliers look to be about 14" long.




No, it was not the source of the rattle.

I bought a car on craigslist sight unseen for 1k and had the guy bring it to me. I dropped a quarter and while I was looking under the seat for it I found a roach.

I found analog porn tucked under the spare tire.

I bought the car from my neighbor when I was a teenager. Fortunately, it wasn't some weird fetish stuff.

In high school a friend of mine got his first car: a Tahoe bought at a US Marshals Drug Seizure auction. It had a bullet hole in the door he had patched. A few weeks after buying it he found a snub-nose .38 S&W under the driver's seat. Always nice to have a drop gun.

Didn't we shoot that at a party at the shooting range?

Pretty much name it, I've found it. All the way to bloody clothes that looked like a murder happened.

Bought a Ford truck with the motor blown from a guy. Hidden in a headliner trim piece was a straw for snorting, with the ends folded. Thought it was drugs. Opened it up, and a diamond fell out.

Buddy bought a Suburban at a drug seizure auction. Couple of years later the drivers window quit working and they took the panel off and found several bricks of weed in the door. It was nasty and dried out so they called the USMS who said to either call the local police or throw it away.

working at ryan chevrolet in monroe in 1974, new purchaser of a Vega hatchback complained about a rattle thay we could not locate. eventually we removed the body panel under the hatch strike plate and discovered a coffee cup added at the assembly plant.

Nothing really memorable but I bought a 1968 Ford Fairlane Ranchero that when I turned the AM radio on I counted to 28 before it would work. And I paid a dollar for it with the title. Wish I still had it.

Not a car, but my cousin bought a house in Nashville from a male family friend who is married and has several kids. He had built the house himself in the 80’s and now they were moving to a smaller house after the kids left home.

My cousin started a project to finish the attic to make a play room for the kids. Well, under a board they found a treasure trove of gay porn. It was a really large duffle bag with at least 30 magazines and 10 or so VHS tapes. They still see this man, who is still married to his wife, all the time around Nashville.

Awwwkwaarddd…


ETA:

I saw the pile. It was super gay porn. No ambiguity at all from the cover of the magazines and tapes. They threw it in the trash.

Aluminum foil ball full of Valium. Just shy of 400 pills. Found it in the dash of a 2003 TJ while replacing the heater core.

Not the first time I've found drugs in a car. Never ever let a cop search your vehicle. Ever.
