Default Lost Some Weight!

SO today i was cleaning out my car when i felt a slit in the carpet under the seats.... WELL to my surprise i put my hand inside and under the carpet to find a treasure chest full of quaters dimes nikeckles and sooo on. I found 60 dollars in change in my car under both the driver and pasenger seat...It all weighed in at around 30-40lbs I couldnt belive it there was sooo much change it was like hiting the loto lol ... I also found a pocket knife a few lighters and some AAA batteries.. Seems everything that you may have lost is under the carpet but i honestly couldnt belive how much change actualy weighs and expecialy 60 dollars in all coins lol mostly quters and pennies.

Wow! That's a lot of change. I went and cashed my big zip lock bag about 3/4ths full a month or so ago so I know how much change that is.

When I swapped out my stock carpet for the lightweight Ozite, I found a few cicadas, a vibrating c*©k ring wrapper, a dried up contact lense, and a movie ticket stub for "Brokeback Mountain". The previous owner is Mike from Straightline Performance

I found an old fuel filter, some unidentifiable part, and a small screwdriver in my front bumper. I guess the previous owner forgot to take it all out?

Yeah, I have no idea how it got there. My dad actually saw it and pointed it out to me. It was stuck in the driver's side by the foglights on a Formula bumper. I guess they jacked the car up on all 4 then slid their way backwards, then forwards when the finished?
