Finding odd things in car

Well at least to me, my car is 79 930. When cleaning under the seats and under the floor mats I found coins lots of them from Ceskoslovenska Socialisticka Republika all dated from 1980-82. Yeah big deal but what would a car like a 930 be doing in soviet communist country?

Check 'em out to see if any match USA coin sizes...they might then be good for parking meters, pool tables, soda machines...

After buying any Porsche from the 80's, the first step as a new owner should be to thoroughly check over the car for stashed, forgotten Cocaine.

One of the members of our PCA region bought his 930 from the feds at auction. After he had owned the car for a few years he was doing some maintenance and found a stash of gold coins. He keeps forgetting to call the feds and turn them in for some reason.

Picked up a rental truck at Enterprise one time. While filling it up, I stated snooping around the glove box and console. Found a big bag of weed. Tossed it in the garbage can.

A buddy of mine bought an old Goldwing maybe 10 years ago. He found a big bag of crack hidden in the fairing. He took it down to a park where the crackheads congregate and tossed it over towards a few of them. He said it caused a minor scuffle as they realized what it was.

Even after six previous owners, I didn't find anything interesting in my 911

Teenager got arrested and locked up here last year. He just bought a used car. Got pulled over, consented to a search and the cops found a bag of heroin (IIRC) stuffed up under the passeger dash.

They eventually cleared him but he was in the clink for a bit.
