After pulling the carpet I found a newer roll of electrical tape, and the corner of peanut M&M bag.

I've never found any surprising things in a new vehicle that I bought. On the other hand, I've found some things in the attics of houses that I bought that impressed upon me the "quality" (or lack thereof) of the workers involved. Beer cans in the attic and in the walls... Fast food / take-out containers... And some people have found rather disgusting items that the workers left.

Jeep left me a few goodies. This banged up pen was in my backseat fold seat hinge and this red dust cap under the front drivers seat. Gives it that "personal touch" :cwl:

Anyone else find anything leftover from the factory workers?

Yes I've found old beer cans in walls also, the real thick Rheingold ones that you need a can opener to open both ends with. Still have them.

Assuming that meant me (since I don't see other nails in this post), yep, I am a chick with pretty short nails. 20180626_112641.jpg
I thought the hand looked feminine, but I assume nothing these days!:facepalm:

So, I guess you were never were warned about dating aviation mechanics -- anything that doesn't move gets riveted. ;)

I haven't dated any mechanics. I probably should have since I keep breaking nails working on my cars. ;)

Just yanking your chain about the rivet in your nose... I'm a pilot and aircraft owner and know a few aircraft mechanics. It seems that they are always either drilling rivets out of things or putting rivets into things. Or complaining that there is no room to work under the panel for various aircraft (mine especially). :)

LOL. I forget about the piercing.

My dad was a pilot for the police (helicopter and airplane).
