BB's ......

So I bought my car about a month and a half ago. I cleaned it really good etc. Well today I pulled the board up over the spare tire and noticed some fuzz from the carpet so I pull it all out and find some change, pens, papers part of a nail clipper. Well I cleaned all of that up then I popped the I guess storage area on the drivers side and notice something in the bottom. I pulled out a big thins of Slime, the stuff that you put in tires to stop leaks. When I picked it up I heard a bunch of noise. I stuck my hand to the bottom and it was full of BB's. I bet there had to be 500 of them rolling around in my fender. It took about 3 min of the shop vac before they stopped getting sucked up lol. Stage 1 weight reduction....done.

Seems that's how it always works buying used cars... I had to fix all sorts of little stuff on my Camaro, so I'm expecting it when I pick up an EVO....

it's even better when you buy an old car like when I had a 77 280z. I found some strange things but I also got a lot of free tools that were under the spare tire!

My Camaro used to belong to a drug dealer from another city in my state, so I made sure I did a very thorough sweep of it before I took it anywhere. Lol.

It would annoy me that there would be more in there that I couldn't get out.
