anyone recognize these nuts?

found a bunch in a 911 front suspension cover. hard as a cocoanut with a white center. i don't think they're from around here. may have to plant them and see what comes up.

Too small.

Wookie nads are closer to coconut size.

I think they're shrunken heads......was the owner of the car wearing a grass skirt and have a bone in his nose?

I've heard the difference between Beer Nuts and deer nuts are that Beer Nuts are $1.50 and deer nuts are under a buck. But those are over a quarter, so I've got nothin'...

Around here (SoCal) the palms will germinate after simply falling on the ground and letting nature take it's course. Don't know what specie those are from but I'd suspect it wouldn't take too much effort to get them to sprout.

Those aren't nuts, those are 911 eggs. Congratulations, your car is a female 911. You'll need the sperm oil of a male 911 to fertilize them and when they hatch they'll will grow into magnificent 911s.

Here's a youngster just getting his road legs.
