    Over 25 years of autobody work, I have found some crazy stuff in customers cars. All techs have found guns dope and sex toys, but have you ever opened the trunk of a 70’s continental and found it FULL unclean used sex toys? Imagine Texas summer sun beating down on that trunk for who knows how long, cooking that awful mess. The interior was fuzzy zebra fur and the car was metallic pink too. Told the boss I just couldn’t do it because of the smell. He cursed at me, stormed over and yanked open the trunk, that smell hit him and he hurled. He told that pimp wannabe to get lost too.
    That isn’t even the worst thing I’ve found in a customer car either.
