What's the Best, Weirdest, or Funnyest thing you've found in a car?

[CyberWasp]

In the nineties I was unfortunate to own a 202 Fuel Injected VK Commodore.
Inside I found a Steering Wheel and a Drivers seat which was ironic as it implied that it was a vehicle that you could actually drive and not just have towed around by a tow truck.

Have found nearly everything in, on the floor of, or stuck to my taxis at some point or another.
In new (to me) cars, one ex auction cop car had a strange rattle I looked for for weeks.
Eventually took the back seat out and found dozens of ammo rounds rattling away.

Found a 23/24mm geared ring spanner stuck in the rear coil of my old vs statesman after a trip to the workshop. No idea how it stayed in there. They rang me to ask if they left their led light in the engine bay, they hadn't. Needless to say the car never went to those clowns

Surely was just emergency flour in case you have to bake a cake in a hurry

We had an '84 VK Calais with the same motor. It was like the little girl in the nursery rhyme..."When she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid".
Ours had the interesting feature on one holiday to the Gold Coast of transforming into a rented Nissan Pulsar SSS while a car that looks spookily like our Calais was across the road from the holiday park at a Holden dealer as the mechanics slit their wrists and howled to the gods as they tried to get the goddamn thing running properly again...

Quiet day on the sale lot that day...

When my Torana was stolen they cut the OEM steering wheel to remove the steering lock.

When it was recovered by the police and I went and picked it up at the impounding yard at Mount Druitt, I found the wheel had been replaced by a nice serial numbered HDT Momo job.

The lock and the old wheel were thrown in the boot.

Finally I understand what the pollies have been saying. This is the type of innovation that will lead Australia into the world of tomorrow. Forget making cars, this is the product we need to be endorsing.

Mechanic mate at a major Ford dealership had a customer bring there brand new falcon in complaining of a weird knocking noise.

Diagnosed it was nothing mechanical and it had to be something lose inside the car. Would only happen when you would accelerate and brake.

They tore this car apart. Dash, headlining, basically the whole interior.

What did they find..

A golf ball..

Only way it would have gotten in there is at the factory. Someone obviously had a warped sense of humor.

I wonder if that bloke is still at the factory working on your Sprints!

Spare keys in a magnet under the fender.

Not uncommon in American cars apparently....

Stick book featuring a girl from the office in the homies section. It was in her dads landcruiser.

This really concerned me because I had not long been given an up close tour of said girl from the office. The depth of her issues got deeper that day.

Reminds me of a colleague's uncle, who was a well-known "celebrity" hair-dresser in Perth. Got his Merc back from its service, then roared back in the next day to accuse them of destroying his engine because it was making an awful clattering noise.
They pooped the bonnet and removed the screwdriver somebody had left.

Found a can of beer in it a while back under the drivers seat, tasted funny, not sure how long it had been under there lol

I recently bought an AU Fairmont for $200 to use as a parts car and i found 6 dead crabs throughout the car as i was pulling it apart. Not sure if they were put there as a joke or someone had a bucket of crabs fall over in the boot and they all ran off behind the trim and died.

I'm sure I've already posted this yarn a while back, so apologies if you've already read it.

A mate bought a brand new XC Panel Van back in the day. 4.1 litre 4 speed in Koolmint. He only owned it for a very short time when he was unlucky enough to hit a roo. He stopped to assess the damage to the grill and so on when a bloke in an EH Holden or similar came around a bend apparently on the wrong side of the road and sideswiped the driver side of the van.

The right front guard and door copped most of the impact and the front edge of the right rear quarter was lightly damaged.

I was working in the panel shop at the Ford dealership where he bought the van and we won the repair job.

When it came time to repair the rear quarter panel I needed to lift the front cover in the cargo area which covered the fuel tank on the vans and utes. From memory, the car was only about six weeks old and the cover definitely hadn't been lifted as none of the screws had been disturbed.

Anyway, I lifted the panel and looked in and saw an opened packet of vegemite sandwiches sitting on the floor next to the fuel tank. They consisted of two rounds and had been wrapped in grease-proof paper. The bottom round was untouched and the top one was partially eaten.

It looked for all the world like old mate on the production line had been having smoko and then realised he was running a bit behind so he just left them there and kept working.

Another unusual one was a Peacock Green XT Fairmont wagon I once worked on. It had copped a whack on the driver side and I had to replace a number of bits and pieces including the right side outer sill panel.

When I cut it open, a panel beater's general purpose dolly fell out. No idea how it got in there as the sill appeared original.

Just a bong and a balaclava in the boot of an XD. I hung onto the balaclava. ;-)

Brought a HB torana from a chick in a small country town the car was parked outside her side fence in a paddock, I thought something was a bit suss when she wouldn't come near the car, when I opened the door there was a funny sour smell.
I left the door open and went back to ask what the smell was... a resident Sleepy lizard!
Yes she was selling the car because she was scared of a harmless sleepy.(and before you ask, no she was a brunette)
That car is now a tubbed out burnout car(not mine)

And forgot what you did with the bong.
