Well, I tend to try to keep my car interior fairly clean, not as picky as some but keep it vacuumed, ect. Well today I started working on some stereo install things to pull out my bose system and found some disturbing things. I have had my max since '00 but bought it used and never pulled the rear seat or spair till now. Never had a flat so just checked spair in the well to check pressure and make sure it was in good order. I went to pull the tire out today and it wouldnt come out, it almost seemed like it was glued down, after literally prying on it, I finally got it to pop loose, looks like the previous owner spilt something in the well and the tire was stuck down, this is what I found under the spair...


Then when I pulled the rear seat I found another nice suprise, had to pull the seat to get the rear deck off to change out speakers.





Guess the previous owners kids used the back seat for garbage disposal, nothing like finding out you been driving around with old crackers, pretzels, and melted crayons along with other crap under your back seat for years. Anyways, not really overly informing post, but thought someone would find it amusing, might want to check out what you got lurking in your car if you bought it used

 

Were the crackers still good? :\

 

I found a calander of the barbie twins in the spare tire well in a friends car once.

 

I never found anything since mine is new. But one car I bought used that I never found anything left behind.

 

The crackers are worth at least 5 extra horsepower. No one has told you yet?

 

Wow, thats disgusting. Makes you wonder about some people I once pulled off the back seat (out of curiosity I believe) and found a name tag for the guy who previously drove it (was a company car).

 

Yea, I found lots of shattered glass. Someone must have broken into the car of previous owner or left over from accident...

 

thats VERY nasty....

 

mine had animal crackers, cheerios, crayons, hair barettes, a barbie head (musta had a girl)!, and tons of mcdoodoos fries.
plus I found a cell phone belt clip thingy under the passenger seat inside the rear seat foot vent! musta knocked it in there when they were vacuuming and forgot about it.

 

I found a receipt for a flat repair in the owner's manual...good thing is that the mileage was written down, which made me feel good, because it was in-line with the odometer when I bought the car

A friend of mine bought a used pickup and found a diamond earring in it while cleaning it.

He didn't think it was real, it was so large, so he set it aside. His father saw it weeks later and had it appraised. Turns out it was a genuine 1 carat diamond, appraised at $5000.

 

i bet the owner that lost was pretty pi$$ed, good find. The most that i found in the those places were pen, pencil, batteries. Just trash...

 

Why would there be a $5K earing in a pick-up? Hmm... Some thugs must have owned it before. Haha. I've found lots of crazy **** and its not even used. My mom wasn't the cleanest person though.

Uh, maybe some laying down fun on the benchseat??

 

I found over $3 in change under my back seat when I did my 6x9's.

 

Strange....this thread made me curious so I took out my rear seats. SPOTLESS. My other car I bought used had some dirt and stuff in there, not as bad as yours. I always thought my car was in good condition when I bought it, but you could eat off this it was so clean.

 

i thought it was gonna be something grosser. i work at enterprise and i find some really odd stuff wedged in the seats and everywhere. found an empty packet of viagra in a marauder last week...let's just say i decided to do a quick vacuum and to not touch that car after that.

 

Oh yeah, it could have been much worse Till now never had a need to pull the back seat though, every couple weeks might have someone in my back seat is about it, so other then a quick vacuum never figured to clean under it.

 

I found 20 or so golf T's and 6 Corona caps in spare tire compartment + a score card from some course around Pittsburgh with 85 score on it..., other than that the car was spotless.

 

I checked my spare after I purchased the car, and found out the trunk has a leak, and the entire spare well was flooded w/ brown rusted water. Under the backseat were tons of lollypops and candy.

 

That is so nasty bro

 

I found over 1500 pennies under the trunk lining on my old Acura Vigor. When I first got the i30, I found a small wooden pot pipe in the rear map holder of the drivers seat! Also, in the glove box was the original window sticker for a totally different i30.

 

my spare tire had the same flooded brown water. I found out it was a hole the sixe on a pencil dot around the rubbing seal, put some silicon on the hole and I fixed the problem (that all happend 2 weeks ago.

 

[QUOTE=FLAVOR247]Sure your friend didn't miss anything shiny while looking back there, kinda like an open wrapper... or something like that


A few weeks back, while trying to change my compartment under my HU, I dropped the Phillips bit I was using to screw back in the bracket. I figured it was probably lost since my fingers couldn't reach as far as the gap went, but when I started poking around, I saw something shiny. Problem was, it didn't look like a bit, but more... flat.

Lo & behold, one minute later, I found myself another spare key

 

I found a 10mm combination wrench and a screwdriver next to the rad of a volvo I used to own. I also found a hide-a-key box under the max... with no key in it.

I found about 4 cups of rotted dog food in the spare tire well of my boss' car... He asked me to investigate a "dead-animal smell". It was all rotted and stunk just like two-week-old roadkill... "Oh, could you reach in and dig it out for me..." Errrr., how about NO!! 'Dude, you don't pay me NEARLY enough for that..."

 

I found a LOT of white powder under the rear seat and in the spare tire well of my old 96 Max. Turned out to be baking powder.
In a jeep that i bought a few years ago I pulled all of the seats all of the way out to clean it out and I found maggots under the seat rails.

 

OK I swear on my life to this.

When I was installing my amp and rear speakers I found three hollow tipped bullets, a package of hot sauce, and a small blue pack of brake silencer. I should have taken pics of that.

 

i found pens batteries melted m&ms and a lot of candy wrappers. the guy i bought the car from was a big guy so that explains a lot.

 

i found a hershey kiss!
