I usually find change under the center console and under the seats. I've also found rolling papers and a pipe. The car with the pipe had another surprise. Someone had shot the cluster! From the angle of the bullet, someone in the driver's seat had done the shooting. What a dip**************** on so many levels. The only real cool thing I've found that was a great surprise was when I was removing a shifter boot and discovered a short shifter.

Did he appear to be aiming for the Check Engine Light? I could understand his frustration if he had had multiple CEL's in a short period of time. Shooting the cluster was probably counter productive.
