Is it true that any parts that end up inside the belly pan when you're working on the car weren't necessary anyway?

 

Only if they stay there for 500+ mi. If they fall out before that, the engine will fall onto the ground, and car will burst into flame.

 

Whew,
Glad to hear there's no risk.

 

Unless, of course it was.................
THE LAST BOLT!
Which means the doors lock automatically just prior to the bursting into flames scenario.
Play it safe.
Pack some marshmellows, hotdogs and a small willow branch -not sure if you'll have time for condiments.

 

NO, NOT THE {SHUDDER} LLLAST BBBBOLT!
