My own car: Usual crap. Change, french fries, a shirt, lots of dirt, and the previous owner's work id.

I used to work at a used car lot, and about 6 wks. after a car was repo'd, I got the "privilege" of cleaning them out. I swear, people are the most disgusting animals on earth. Anything from stereo components to garbage.
Real garbage, like dirty diapers(not the nice kind of dirty, either). I've had to pull 2 and 3 bags of trash out of cars before. Those usually got the interior completely stripped out. Power wash the carpets, strip the seat covers off and run them through a washing machine a couple times.
Got a nice digital cap., and a 6 disc Pioneer cd changer, couple cheap amps. Usual drug paraphernalia. crack pipes, rolling papers, baggies. Never found any large amounts of drugs or money.
Cockroaches(shudder). Had to bug bomb a vehicle or 2.

HoLY shit! :nono: lol....



I found an unused condom in my right rear fender while i was cleaning it out. Thank GOD it was unused as it was floating in the pool of water trapped in there from my leak.

misc. pens and a few coins

white dog hair

a little thin wire from the passenger seat to the rear hatch for a sub. not a horrible job but not good either.

wax everywhere in the center console...

The little flip up cup (that everyone uses as a cup holder) was coated in wax and it had melted down in under the console...

It was scented too, dunno WTF someone was thinking...

Also found a round shift knob that perfectly fits the shifter, no I won't sell (it's my serious driving knob)

My Supra:
The car was CLEAN. The only thing I found in it was a socket for wheel locks that didn't exist hidden under the passenger seat, stuck in the vent under there.

My Celica:
Found a ton of change everywhere, found an old leisure centre ID UNDER the carpet UNDER the seat. How it got there I have no idea. Tons of glass in the back, a second gas cap, a large sticker on the inside of the dash panel advertizing the audio shop that (poorly) installed the shitty stereo and speakers. It had a random Honda key in the glove box too, as well as a weird cruise control computer in the back seat.

It also had a front strut bar, which I thought was pretty rare for an RA60 Celica.

My Truck:
It was seriously a garbage dump. In the cab there were old clothes, unused condoms, rolling papers, various broken tools, TONS of dirty pieces of paper and recipts, including a few bills of sales for OTHER trucks. In the tool box in the back, it was full of empty beer cans, and more broken tools and shit.

I didn't even bother cleaning it out, I just sold it that way.
