Default ever look under your seats?

Decided to look under my seat to see what booty lerked around on the floor since 1996.

Because the space under the seat is so damn hard to access i had to remove the seats and it was still hard to access under the computer trays which are screwed into the floor.

I found a little over $10 bucks in change!

Word to the wise, be warey of the pants you wear and the change you keep.
It is too hard to access otherwise.

I just removed my passenger seat yesterday to install T-locks. My car was previously owned by a fairly well known musician. I found guitar picks, an old cassette tape, a condom still in the package thankfully, $1.13 in change and alarm system I never knew the car had that was still hooked up.

I'm the third owner of my '95. I have all the records from the second owner but had no idea who the first owner was. It was sold and serviced by the same dealer it's entire service history.

Under my driver's seat was a 1997 charge card slip from a Chili's restaurant with a name and town. Took a shot and Googled it. Found an address and phone number. Called him up and sure enough, he was glad to talk to me, said he wished he never sold the car, etc. Told me the story how he came to buy it.

That, was a good find.

Also there was the sunroof tool and about $1.75

I hope the muffin tasted good at least.

Found a few receipts for some restaurants from the PO and change and the cigarette lighter that he lost at some point. He must have ordered a new one, so I now have two. Never used it thankfully.

After replacing 2 flexible cables at $70 a pop only to have the seat still grind and stick I removed the seat and found a quarter and a penny stuck in the seat rail. Both coins were badly bent and were a bitch to remove.
