While I had my driver side door panel off to repair some torn vinyl I noticed a rattle. I tapped it upside down against the garage floor and out falls $1.30 worth of period correct coins! They were hidden in the tiny air pockets under where the map pocket screws to the card. Thought Id share that I actually got paid to work on my RX7 today!

 

+1!

i found so much change in my second Rx8 that the guy at the coffee shop was like WFT?! i easily bought coffee for like 2 weeks+

 

I found a couple dollars under the carpet when I swapped the interior too. Mostly under the armrest and ash tray area.

 

mine was all under the right rear corner of the drivers seat, its like when you sit down, all the change slides out of the persons pocket...

 

another excellent spot to find hidden things is in the hatch area below the antenna in well at the rear most corner of each quarter panel. i've found pens, cassette tapes, action figures, money, markers, hardware, etc down there over the years.

 

I've found two 10mm sockets, a pair of pliers, and various change and starburst candies (someone really liked Starburst). Forget the monetary gain, think of the WEIGHT SAVINGS!

 

I found $3.72 in change when I pulled my interior for cleaning. Also an anodized aluminum walking stick, TWO jacks (one standard and one aluminum), and two 1-cent stamps.

 

i **** yall not. when i was stripping my interior. i stripped my doors and on the inside of the doors i found like 200 pennies.... did someone drop them through the window rubber? idk...but im 200 pennies richer. and no more rattle!

 

I found like 6 bucks in change when I took the driver's seat out.
It was stuck so assumed that the change was stopping it from sliding.
NOPE!
Turned out to be a goddamn Golf tee in the slider!

 

A golf tee? To put your ***** on while driving? Those Mazda engineers really thought of everything!

 

I think my driver seat skips a click on the slider. I might have to look for a golf tee down there.

 

I bought a pinball machine at an amusement auction with 2 golden tee and a few video games. I noticed the pinball was EXTREMLY heavy in the front. Didn't think much about it. Got it home drilled the lock. $127.50 in quarters in the coin box con jelled together by what was probably the remains of a 12 pack of coke.

The golden tee had almost $100 in the dollar bill accepter.

 

Reminds me of when I was a kid. I used to check a the coin slots of the gum ball and Coke machines at the stores... I'd flip out when I found change. I think my grandfather used to plant coins in them and make me think they were already there.

 

In a junkyard car I found a lighter, almost a $1 in change, a packet of hot oatmeal, among other random items.

Crazy what you find in old cars, looking forward to seeing some more results

 

i found a condom wrapper in my Rx8....

and the mummified remains of a joint from 1979 in NODE's SA....

 

I found an old Playboy under the trunk mat of the Cutlass I bought back in high school.

 

Going to a junkyard and pulling the backseat could become a lucrative business.

 

Imagine what youll find in an old 70s van... The back seat is a friggin bed.

 

Found a little baggy with two E's in it under the carpet under the seat a while back when I was fixing the sloppy seat rails. It was St Patricks day. They were dynamite. It was a good night.

 

Say no to drugs.

 

mmkay

 

hmm, you might be able to pay for the entry costs

ewww, one Rx7 i had, there was some rotten fried chicken decomposing into the carpet behind the seats... i shudder to think what could be in a van...

 

pic is the E brake handle on Rx8 #2, its supposed too be black plastic, that grey crap IS the previous owner...

 

^damn that's nasty...so the p.o. never washed their hands or cleaned the car?

 

U pull here is a buck. One set of Cadillac donation seats yields 2 plus bucks. **** they had 2 or 3 LS series Lexus here and I got at least 5 from a gas tank pull
