Random Stuff Found in Used Cars

Found a handful of petrified French fries once.

Better then FRAM

Found some parking passes for a college once. I actually happened to go by it a few weeks after and tried them. They worked.

I found a "JDM prom" "performance chip" in the back of a European car.

I also found a hockey puck in the trunk of a car I bought in Minnesota.

...

>JDM prom

Is this like a party for people who are done with JDM?

Haha yeah.

But seriously, on eBay it sells new for $199.95

My first car was a 1999 civic hatch that I bought on craigslist. It seemed pretty clean when I test drove it so I didn't really care when the previous owner told me that he didn't have time to clean it out.
Anyways, here are some things that I found:
>dozen steak knives under the drivers seat
>scuba and snorkeling gear where there spare tire was
>a big ziploc bag full of lose cigarettes under the passenger seat
>huge torque wrench (didn't mind this one)
>french fries between the seats
Could be worse.

I found an entire combination spanner set from 4mm to 22mm (in increments of 1mm) under the spare tyre in my MG

I'd contact the previous owner, but he lied and said the head gasket was fixed (it wasn't) so fuck him, free spanners

i found a sort of shopping list for baby items, like diapers and stuff
and then i turned it over and it said 'none of this now needed, baby dead'

Thanks for sharing, Karl.

me auntie nora once farted for five minutes

>50% HP INCREASE
>by connecting some pos to the obd connector

Fucking kek. I bet all it does is fuck with the accelerator pedal response so the engine revs up faster.

>~5 years ago

>months later decide to clear out glovebox
>glovebox interior has a black velvet like lining
>see loose spot in the far back corner

>used to work at a car wash
>two guys come in to get their car detailed
>just want a quick vacuum and interior cleaning
>guys say they'll give the detailer a good tip, but are scrounging for money just to pay for the detail
>clean their car
>no tip when they leave
>get a phone call 4 days later
>same customer is complaining that we didn't do a good job cleaning their car
>goes on to say that they were pulled over by a cop immediately after leaving the car wash
>cop finds used syringes under their seats
>the guy claims he's a diabetic, but the cops wouldn't believe him
>goes to jail
>gets let out
>immediately calls us
>goes on the ask for a refund
>says we should have taken the needles out of his car
>guy persistently calls for over two weeks trying to get a refund

On the opposite end. I found:
The toolkit complete where it should be
The first aid kit where it should be
The manuals in the glovebox
The service records in the glovebox

That never happens...

I inherited an Opel that had everything just as you said. But the oil hadn't been changed in 25k km, the brakes were leaking and the suspension needed a complete overhaul.

If we're going by car was stories then...

Pretty sure ive told this one before
>power antenna stops working in my volvo 850
>peel back trunk lining to get at it
>knotted sock stuffed down in fender well
>Baretta 380 auto with full mag.

Did you keep it? Stuffed in a fucking sock is scary though

Please post more

Ever since I bought my car there was a terrible rattling noise from behind the dash. I ended up finding a corkscrew back there after doing some digging. I have no idea how you lose a corkscrew so deep inside there.

Yeah kept it and shot the hell out of it for a couple years. Eventually sold it to my brother and he still has it.
Shortly after I found it I had a friend run the SN and it was "clean" so no worries.

I found a 6 inch screwdriver jammed in the heater fan when I took it to bits to find out why it didn't work

Amazing what people lose behind a dashboard

Why does the sudden change of setting from rural America to England?

...

Did you keep the sock tho?

Rural Scotland to Rural Scotland mate

I thought thats what you were asking about. I threw out the gun right away. Why the fuck would i keep that when i have a bad ass sock there?

> fucks with accelerator pedal response
You don't know anything about cars do you

Bought a BMW off a serviceman, he left an actual british army tactical knife, the military base entrance permit, Haynes E46 manual and some other neat stuff, and when swapping out the front fender I found weed tucked behind the turn indicator.
Seems like they've been on a trip to Amsterdam

coconut oil and some viagra

My 2009 E320 was previously owned by a urologist in Florida. I know this because I found a pile of his business cards under the back seat as well as an Ipod nano.

I worked at a dealership where we gave out a lot of loaners, and once we found a gun somebody left in the glovebox. They came back pretty quickly once they realized it was gone, but it was fairly surprising to find.

I hope you kept the smokes.

>buy used 90s sentra
>turn on the ac
>sound of loose shit falling
>wait
>check the drawer I put my coins in
>empty
there is atleast $2 in loose change in the ac that clanks around when turning it on and off now

My Ranger was running a little sluggish and I discovered a family of mice had built a nest in the airbox.

...and they were still there.

found nothing because i dont have some shitty used beater

is that a fucking mutant mouse senpai?

Organic air filter.

This has gone too far.

vacuum them

CUTE

that chick is hot

>dead cat
how

how fucking shady was the cunt

>accelerator pedal response

It's still a cable driven by a pedal opening a valve senpai

just saw this on autotrader

fuck woops thought this was shitty mod thread

why are pakis so terrible people? every story i here about them is them being aboslute cunts

Nice, you can use them as a excuse to get away from embarrassing situations
>user, why do you have blood on your shirt
>idk, gotta go return these tapes

Yay references! HEY PAUL

>low n slow

>50& HP increase

>install jay dee ehm in my shitbox
>conquer the hurrdurring
>claim laptimes

What he's talking about is the rate of rev increase and decrease, something the flywheel has the biggest effect on. A lighter flywheel turns a Vrooooom Vrooooom into a Vroom Vroom

I've seen shit look exactly like this thing,but saying that it reduces gas consumption

I've actually bought my 9-3 with one of these chimichangas in it

Snake oil as fuck.
I only get ECU chip tuners from reputable dealers who know the shit they're talking about. Don't buy "chips" that are just weird generic calibrations.

DiabloSport
Bad News Racing
Trifecta

Those are all reputable dealers who need specific information about your engine to calibrate a tune.

I'm sure everyone here knows this though.

Found a gameboy advanced with pokemon emerald inside under the co drivers seat of my opel vectra, back in 2008 i believe?

Probably browsed /k/

>Yeah kept it and shot the hell out of it for a couple years.

The sock, right?

See

I bought an AW-11 maybe a year ago. I found a $2 chip from Foxwoods, a hayness book for the mr2, a 13mm socket, and divorce papers.

i once found a prosthetic leg in the back of my taxi at the end of a Saturday night shift, it's still on the wall in the office, no one has collected or called to claim it. strange thing is i dont recall a one legged person leaving the taxi that night.

also found a banana shaped dildo under the spare wheel of a mercedes estate 2 days after i bought it, offered it to truckerfag but he declined.

>what is electronic throttle
You know most cars are electronic throttle since like the mid 2000's right?

>Knives
>Diving gear
>Cigarettes
>Torque wrench
Damn son, that could've been worth more than a 1999 Civic.

...

Very few modern cars still use cable-driven throttle. Hell, my Peugeot shitbox delivery van from 8 years ago already has throttle-by-wire.
And there are even a few models with electronic steering, feedback imitated by an electric motor.

/k/ is cancer and for gays

No its not. There is a throttle position sensor that tells the ecu how much you pushed it down. Then the ecu opens the throttle body the amount it thinks it needs to at the speed it thinks it needs to.

Most chips make the ecu open the throttle very quickly, making you think the car is now more powerful.

I bought a used mustang a couple of years back. Found a bunch of used condoms, fucking nude polaroids from a MILF and a cum crusted thong in the pocket of one of the backseats.

Never buying a car from dad again.

98 civic hatch, bought it off a lad that i knew from a friend that wanted to get rid of it.
came with:
>bodykit
>racing seats
>custom paintjob
>20 little trees flavor peahcy peach, vanilla and coconut
>16inch subwoofer (no amp) with it.

If you think im joking, im not.

10/10

This happened to me.

Felt good.

Thanks T. Boomer

I had parked my car for about two weeks once, then at a stoplight in town I look over to check the time on my phone and see one of these fuckers staring back in me in the passenger seat. I screamed at the top of my lungs and I could have sworn I heard that little cunt squeak back at me. My windows were down too.

I wonder what was going through the minds of people around me.

Police found a small marijuana pipe in my car once when I got pulled over. Either someone that was in the car stashed it there or it was there from a previous owner. It sure as shit wasn't mine, I never owned one. They gave it back to me and told me to get rid of it.

that front leg looks all kinds of fucked up, unless thats just a dustball on it

A bag of what I think was ecstasy in my 95 Accord, not a small bag either... like a 2lb ziplock almost stuffed. Bought it in Vegas off of a guy on Craigslist who went by the name "Viper". Stuff was crammed in the back of the seat, which popped off when a button was pressed beneath the headrest.

Disposed of it shortly after finding it, since I know no one... and randomly dealing random pills I knew nothing about seemed sketchy.

pretty off topic at this point, but . . .

You take care of the ol' girl now, you hear me? She did me well and she'll do you good too. Just remember to washed her and waxed her twiced-a-day.

women should be banned from driving, they drive like shit, let alone drunk driving women.
pic took my sides out, thanks.

Bought a 1990 Mazda Miata from the original owner, he is a minister at my parents church
Was cleaning it out, doing a full detail, removed the donut tire from its spot in the trunk, couple of Walmart bags stuffed in behind, figure it's cash form the weekly offerings, nope, pills, lots of Viagra, condoms, Astro-Glide lube and 3 really large and very, very dirty dildos, hair and shit covering them, bunch of other loose pills and some small bottles with a liquid inside, caps had tops like nasal sprays
Get a call from the Minister, asks if I might have found "some bags" in the trunk, told him nope, clean as a whistle
Showed my Dad everything, he was not happy, he is on the church's board, he took the pills to the police, bottles were "poppers" and the random pills were Ambien and Percocets, he took the other stuff to a church meeting and they asked the minister to leave, my Mother and some of the ladies showed pictures of the stuff I found to his wife, he moved away, she stayed in town
Washed the car again, then one more time to be safe

I found a brick of coke in a car I bought in New Mexico, I flushed it down too desu. Drugs are the devil's work.

stuff that never happened
