No...i think its the thing he forgot to put in his last engine rebuild 
Actually, my friend and i were using similar nails...theyre used to clampdown on something with a special tool and hold it together. Works quite well. We fixed a cracked plastic fan frame.

Fools!
That is a pin that holds the CV joints. It originated in 1957 when Porsche needed to find a way to hold their CV joints on. They figured that they could use a nail like object with a little washer head thing to hold the suspension at at 73 degree angle while using the dime to make the conversion factor of the parallex radius of an equilatteral. Thus making the suspension able to handle very sharp turns, and also making the car able to do calculus. There is a dime located on every CV joint on every car. This makes our cars worth 20 cents more than the selling price.
And i base that on absolutely nothing.

Your hint: Commonly found on most 924's, 944's, 951's, 924S's, 968's.
Only these models use a rear hatch cover IIRC.
Unused rivet for holding together the rear hatch cover plastic end caps? Looks just about the size of a dime.
