This is how sunday morning started for me, dropping the fuel tank and dumping it out to figure out what the hell was sloshing around in the bottom of it. First I laughed, then I needed a ####ing beer. After some ethanol therapy, I had a look in the tank with a flash light. There was another, more complete mouse body in the tank that I had to fish out with a coat hanger. It was like I was giving the Phoenix an abortion. This required the wrest of the 6 pack.

Now I've had upper a arms that were being sawed into by the bolts, I've had K members split in half, and once drove 20 miles on a broken crank shaft. This is the only thing that's actually sent a chill down my spine and drove me to drinking. Whats the most horrifying thing you've seen on your car?

Picked up a 65 Coupe de Ville, trunk was full of sex toys and porn, floor boards were littered with bottles of hard stuff...
BUT the vilest was the rubber boot full of chew juice...
Even after cleaning it out and pressure washing the interior, I still got nauseated when the floor got warm in the Memorial Colesium during a derby!

Ended up with a Cadillac Seville that i was going to get some parts off of before sending it to the scrap yard. Popped the trunk and found it full of soggy mildewed ,steamy romance novels .

mouse in the tank... yikes.

my worst ever is chemistry. Invisible, invincible stuff.
worse than radioactive is ferment.. that may not be beer.
man eaters is worse than nuked.
still fixable. Simple as "99% kill all bacteria" stuff. Welding is the god for cars and trucks too.

kill 'em all, let welding sort it out.

The absolute worse thing I've found on a car I owned.


No amount of washing or mechanic work (and there was a lot) could remove it.

'77 F150 with several used diapers stashed randomly amongst the other crap.

Only paid $65 for the truck. Replaced the missing rag joint, timing chain, and a brake line, used it for a couple years and sold it for $800 Fellow who bought it gave me an extra $100 if I removed the shot bed for him. Drove it onto the scales with an empty bed, heaved the bed into the pile, and collected my $.95 for it. Got some strange looks at the scrapyard that day.

It's even worse when you find that in your 1960 dodge dart phoenix dude... trust me.

Maybe not quite as bad, but at least we sound the squeak from the front end of my buddy's old '99 Jimmy. Just happened to notice it during plugs and wire swap.

As a teen after a night of driving on dirt and muddy roads, I parked the car in the driveway. I was woken up early by mom yelling at me to go clean my car. I stumble out of bed wondering why she cares that my car being covered in mud. I came out to see mom pointing at the rear wheel well. In amongst the caked on mud there was the remains of a rabbit dangling from under the quarter. Being the smartass teen I said something about now having a lucky rabbit's foot. It was the closest my mother ever came to hitting me.

Grossest may have been finding a dead rat under the seat of my wife's Nissan Pathfinder. But for actually horrifying? That might have been the wiring on a '79 Triumph Spitfire. Turns out the PO had rewired it with transparent yellow lamp cord and wire nuts - and the wire nuts had fallen off. If you were thinking that was a fire trap... you're right. I found out about that after investigating why the high beam switch had caught fire.

I can't think of anything that I've found. But a coworker was telling me he bought a mid 80's Trans Am. The owner with his wife next to him was proudly showing off the back seat where he use to have sex with his wife before they were married. He said she was cringing.

When disassembling our 1962 Valiant, we found a snake skin under the back seat that measured over 8' in length.... granted, it was probably longer than the snake it came off of, but I'm reeeeeallly glad the snake wasn't still in it.

Ever found ever ?

OK it wasn't mine but I was unfortunately there. A friends 18th birthday and we're out mud riding and drinking heavily. Well another friend had a Volkswagen van ( I think that's what it was ), anyway once my buddy was null and void we threw him in the back of the van with all the dogs well to say he got sick was an understatement. At the back of the van was a step down inside the doors but we unloaded him and the dogs out the side doors. Now initially we didn't know he'd gotten sick but the NEXT WEEKEND Snake brought his van back out, now you see Snake had almost no sense of smell so after a week in mid August, well when we opened the back doors to get in the van to go to the beer store ...well you can imagine the funk, wet dog's and puke. We had to stream clean the inside of the van!
