Must be a record...

While installing my new carpet this weekend, I was amazed at how much change was under it at the console area. I pulled out $15.11 worth of change. I'm suprised I wasn't jingleing while going down the road. lol.
What's the most pocket change you ever found in your car while working on it?

Re: Must be a record...

Damn,I got like 37 cents when I pulled my carpet.

When I was youger,in the 80's, a friends Dad owned a junkyard we hung out at,I remember pulling seats in those big 60's and 70's cars and collecting change for pockett money.

Re: Must be a record...

I just pulled about $2 (mostly pennies) from under the seats in my 91...this is after finding about the same amount (mostly pennies again) in the ashtray a few years back. That's a lot of pennies.

Re: Must be a record...

I just bought a 89 Camaro the other day and when I got home, I pulled out a TomTom XL that the previous owner left in the car underneath the driver seat. I asked him too, "Is there anything else you wanna grab out of the car?" They said nope so I took off lol its mine now
