I found this under my passenger seat, along with the plastic piece that covers the seat mounting bolt.

I have no idea where it came from, or what is goes to.

I've not carried anything in my car that I could think it may have came from.

The tan looks like expandable urethane foam. The tan stuff also appears that it has been snapped off.

Any plausible ideas?

 

the 2nd pic is a late 1800's style bread toaster.

 

no no no...

it's your life preserver, just like in the airplanes

 

It's a chasity belt.

 

hahaha.
i dont have a clever response.

 

Could ya'll take your cars apart piece by piece and find out where it goes for me?

 

Sure... in 2030, when she'll be needing her first restoration.

 

has anyone else found anything strange in their cars?

 

Pair of handcuffs (with keys!) and a koh-i-noor drafting pencil, .3mm. Still have both. Found 'em when I was cleaning out the Rx-7 right after I'd bought it.

 

Once when leaving work in 1997 I went to the parking lot, unlocked the door to my white, 1979 RX-7 and got inside to find that someone had switched my interior from black vinyl(?) to red cloth. Upon further inspection I learned that a new guy with a 1980 Rx-7 of the same color had just started where I worked and had the same exact key combination. That led to a year of randomly moving each others cars if we wanted the better parking space...

Don't know what the heck the thing you found in your car is. How big is it? Maybe it is some type of cabin air filter?

 

It's roughly 2.6 wide x 2 tall x .6 thick. It's made to do something. I just dunno what.
I found it after the Dealer changed out my pass tail light due to moisture. They also fitted the front brakes with shims for squeeling.

 

Call them up and tell them they forgot to install one of the parts and just left it on the floor board of your car. That should get them to find someone to tell you what it is.

 

I thought of that but I figured they wouldn't have a clue. I hope it's not the bracket that holds the Zoom Zoom.

 

It's the missing 30hp Mazda couldn't fit into the Renesis.

 

yeah, it'd be almost funny if it was your engine mount or an airbag or something critical like that

 

Maybe it was packaging material to protect the tailight assembly in shipping.

 

That could be, I suppose that would explain the broken foam. I don't understand why it would end up ender the seat though.

 

I once found a video tape in the back of a convertible I bought. I thought, WOW, This could be good!! Not so. Home video of a midget league football game.

Also, found the remains of a joint in my eclipse spyder I bought used a few years back!!

 

They probably stuck the parts inside your car when you gave it over to the service writer, then unpacked the thing on the passenger seat. It could have slid underneath or got kicked under when the tech gave his buddy a joy ride.

 

funny and frightning, but when a few days after i bought my car i was vaccuming it out and found a safe auto insurance card stick between the seats. the dealer i got it from said a guy bought it before me, financed all but $170.00 of it and wrote a personal check for the rest. the check bounced, and he couldn't afford to pay it cash so he had to return the car. i'd like to think i saved her from certain disaster. seriously who puts safe auto on an rx8?

 

its the bread dammit! the bread!!!

 

Its a bisket holder. Or biscuit. Who the hell desides how things are spelled. Like to give them a good whack. Anyway it goes in your cup holder to keep the biscuit warm.

 

Its a double handled doey doey able to contain viral growing and spongesidal spore growth antibodies.....if handled carefully its not too contaugeuos....

 

It's spelled "biscuit", so that it spells the same as "Triscuit"(tm). Duh!

 

I can't believe that I just read every single post in this thread...

I must be bored...

Time to go to sleep...
