Interesting things you've found in cars

friend of mine was at a pick n pull here and was pulling a guage cluster out for his 81 f100 and had his hand behind the cluster unhooking the wires and shit.....felt something stab in his hand, but thought it was just a piece of metal or a wire or something so he kept on working to get it out...

when he got it out, he saw a huge ball of snakes up under the dash and one was about to strike at his face......

said he grabbed his tools and the cluster and hauled ass.....

told the owner and that section of the lot was closed down until the snakes were taken care of....

he said they were cottonmouths, but wouldn't he have died or at least got really sick? he didn't go to the doctor or anything and his hand swelled up pretty bad...

 

The moral of that story is always have an inspection mirror and a flashlight to stick in dark places before you put your hands in them. Sounds like maybe they were baby snakes - they sure weren't grass snakes to make his hand swell up.

 

sounds like he got a "dry bite" where it's just a warning and they don't wanna use any of their venom...

 

I and a buddy were picking up a car at a tow yard (after he rolled it a day earlier), and the yard worker was marvelling over a discovery in another car, seems they were looking for an item a couple days before and couldn't find it...... he found a severed foot with the shoe still on!

turns out the guy didn't need it though, didn't make it.

nasty. probably the grossest thing I've seen in a car.

 

Yeah, I've been to the jumkyard, and it's always a little weird when you realize that that brown gunk next to thet hole in the windshield isn't dirt... especially when there's hair, and what look like chunks of flesh snagged in the glass shards surrounding it...

Saw that on a Geo Metro hatchback that had gotten rear ended so bad the butt part of the front seate was parallel to the windshield, with the seat backs coming out of the body-sized holes in it. And no, that brown/rust colored stuff all over was not dirt.

I don't suppose you could take a pic or scan her and post it, could you?

Dry bite=wet pants.

 

A snake in a 72 duce that my dad had, I was driving it and my girlfriend found it in the back floor board when she was trying to get a cd case. It was late and I pulled over at a gas station that was closed so that I could remove him but he ran for the trunk. I pull out all the crap in the trunk and I mean it look like i was having a yard sale when a cop pulls in lights and all asking ehat the hell i'm doing I tell him there is a snake in the trunk if he cares to help...He told me to cary on and left abruptly.Oh it was a garter snake and he is in snake heaven.

Thats an idea for a new movie "SNAKES IN A DUCE"

 

DUCE? Like Mussolini?

From different cars I have found some good stuff.
a good bit of silver money 40s-64, other later change, some early falcon hubcaps, an old sharp green number calculator that worked, Joe camel ash tray, a few tools and an old electric drill, spoons knives and forks, some old clothes, a half a bottle of george dickel, old soda bottles, used rifle/pistol cartridges. and a few live bullets, a good big magnet, alot of paperwork from repairs and owners manuals. old license plates, and alot of used and new spare parts I saw a 50 buick in a salvage yard full of old soda bottles up to the windows and an older chrysler full of old sinks and commodes

 

Not in a car, but in a Kegerator!!! I went down to So-Cal to grab a Jeep that I was going to be building. The old owner decided he was going to take his shop and start building desert racers instead. Anyway, he is clearing eVERYTHING out of there. I spot this 1950 Hotpoint fridge in the corner with a tap popping ut of the front. I ask him about it. He tells me it is a kegerator that he will give me for $50. It is complete with old keg and all. I walk over and open it up. In about 10seconds the whole 1800 sqft shop REEKS of old rotting flesh. So what do I do? I tell him to load it into the back of my truck OPEN!!!! Drive from so-cal to San Francisco. Get home and unlowd it and it still smells horrible. Start cleaning it up, spraying simple green, scrubbing with a brillo pad,... Everthing you can do to get rid of the stench but it will not go away. FINALLY I open the freezer part, and sure as shit, there is a whole frigging chicken in there getting chowed by maggots. I call the guy up and ask him abut it. The story is he got piss ass drunk one day and forgot all about it. Finished the keg that day, unplugged the kegerator (that was between 1 and 2 years before I bought it).

So we went to the brewery, grabbed and keg and loaded it up. Started drinking the beer, until we saw MOld coming out of the tap. We never cleaned out the lines. DOH!!!!

man, all I found was dirt and about 8 bucks worth of quarters in the ashtray.

 

Hey Jason...here are some pics of the air freshener I found...I think she's cool.
I guess she's not wearing a bikini...sexy lingerie is better anyway...

 

hahahahhahahahahahaa....snort........AAAAAhahahahahaha

Hood ornament?

 

If you live in the 'hood....



I find it kind of ironic to see that turn up again below the pic showing the wording on the back of the air freshener, too.

 

Well it didn't happen to me, but a friend of mine found a still from a movie autographed by frank sinatra in the rear seat pocket of his caddy? He bought it off of one of frank's chauffers, dunno if frank rode in back or not.

 

i found an unopened ancient pack of "more lights" cigarettes in my 63 stuffed inside the seat, and a weed pipe disguised as a cigarette in a salvaged car at work

 

I bought an old 57 Chevy last month from this old guy. He had it stored in the back of his shop for 26 years. We were getting ready to drive the tow truck away and he ran out freaking out and started to pull everything out of the car which had loads of stuff jammed in it. Finally he came of all the junk inside the car really happy. He had forgotten his old secret bong collection hidden under the seat that he had hid there probably in the 70's. A bunch of pipes and bongs. Guess his memory had been smoked away.

I found my soul in an old car.

 

best post of the thread!!

 

OMFG that is AWESOME!

Wouldn't folks go APESHIT if some of these were repopped?

~Jason

 

I found a string of vertebre. I did'nt investigate if they were real but they looked kinda' human. Obviously kinda gross.
I got the car from a friend and hav'nt got around to ask him what the hell they were from. Dont really wanna know I guess!

 

Observe the 5 second rule. You don't want to meet St. Peter with a soiled soul do you?

 

LOL... "soiled"

 

What the heck does that mean?

 

Ah, what doesn't it mean ?

 

A buddy of mine bought a wreck out of a junkyard. While he was pulling it apart he found what he described as a peice of someones ear. The car was fairly bloody!!!!!!

 

this is one 41 ford i didnt get too close to out at the guys place i got my international, guess the shotgun blast peeled it like a tin can


in the 57 chev i found a old boot, vaious stuff from st cloud university in mn, some old cologne, a red business card with a appointment for the red door clinic, a old vest, a hamms beer bottle opener, ironically found one of them in the 34 international also, otherwise just misc parts and the original owners manual, and service stickers from the sixties in the door jambs, and a yellow button thats still above the visor that says "woodstock(?) 77 is coming are you?" whatever that means since i cant remember the first part, was like a time machine from when it was parked in 79 in southern mn.

 

i found a million dollars under my back seat, and didnt tell anybody,

 

I found a hash pipe under the back seat of a police cruizer once. I was repairing the 2way radio in the police car and in the process of following the control cable from the dash to the trunk mounted radio, I came across the pipe. I am sure that was jammed down there quickly on a ride to the station by someone who was having a bad day.
