Found a metal circular object underneath my car, can somebody identify it? **PICS**

As some of you may know I park my car for the winter, but run it a couple days a week. When I ran it today I noticed a metal disc on the ground where my car was parked. I found it towards the rear (just past the cat). Can anybody help me identify what this is? Or could it be something that rolled off one of the shelves? Any information is appreciated.

It's a tracking device that the federal government put on your car. They know you race, don't deny it.

It's a fuel saving innvoation, similar to Tornado

It magnetizes the fuel lines underneath your car, helping it to atomize, also improves injector dispersion pattern. Similar to an ECU reprogram, but cheaper!!!!!

You should sell it on Ebay, someone will buy it. Make sure you put Tornado in the title.

It's an electronic guiding system for airplanes so they can come straight into your car.

To me, it looks like some sort of sexual toy for people with small wee wees. If I were you, I would start questioning the neighbors about what they do around your house when youre not there.

That was lame, but I gotta get my whoring done somehow!

Definitly off the shelf. Looks to clean to have fallen off the underside of your car. Don't sweat it.
