Title: Does your vette have a lucky charm?
Post by: demonx on March 11, 2007, 12:25:06 PM: Talking to a lot of special car owners, one thing that I've noticed is that when they got there car they found something in it and decided to leave it as it feels like its part of the cars aura or something. Sometimes its a sticker or something they found inside etc etc.

When I bought my car it had a Canadian 5c piece in the ash tray. Now I have no idea why I havn't taken it out. I've just left it there.

The car came from Canada in the early '90s and I'm the third owner here in Australia, so I'm assuming that this coin has been in the car a hell of a long time through multiple owners... Is that weird?

Anyone else have something similar?

Post by: bootlegger on March 11, 2007, 08:23:11 PM: When I took the motor out of my car I found behing the console an unsmoked Cigar. The car came from Texas so I got imagining a Boss Hog type cruising around in it. I put it back where I found it for the next guy to discover. I have an old Harley also and one day when I was cleaning my room out I found an American dime (the only American coin I had). It was minted the same year as my bike 1968. I took it as a sign I polished it up and glued it on to the strip between the petrol tank. The bike has never let me down. Dave

But how do you know if it is bringing you luck . I think it gives you hope that you'll have some luck.
