I want to know what you all have experienced as being the most disgusting vehicle you have ever worked on.
Mine would have to be, one time I put a radio in a newer chevy pickup truck. I was on the floor boards trying to take the wiring harness out of the radio brain. I smelled something, then looked over underneath the seat and found that someone had tossed their cookies, but must have not got it all cleaned up........yuk... I still gag when I think about that to this day.

With respect to stewed prunes.....is 3 enough, or is 4 too many?

I've seen numerous newer cars that have just been trashed by people who just don't give a rats a$$. Many with cigarette burns in the seats, all kinds of fast food garbage, not to mention weeks old fast food, diapers (dirty), oh, and the best had to be an old man's spitoon (place where he spits his snuff), no lid, just an old coffee can, half full!!!!!! My car had people puke in the passenger's side pocket (it was an '88 Tempo), TWICE! Once when a buddy who was riding in the back seat drank too much tequila, and one morning when a friend's girlfriend who I was giving a ride to just lost it for no reason, I almost tossed on the second occasion.

The worst thing I have ever seen, I was putting a c.d. player in my budds 94 ranger, and I was on the floor dinkin around with the cables for his amp, and looked under the seat, and there was used condoms under his seat. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What was he thinking doin it in a ranger? My god! Do it in a limo or a lincoln or something.

Not related to car audio, but I had a similar experience with roomates, garbage cans and the neighbour's cat. That's all I'm sayin'. I feel your pain man!

My worst was trying to mount an underdash EQ near the steering column of an older Audi driven by a FAT man. The smell of the driver's seat can only be compared to underwear that has been worn for a week.....

Mine was a Native's(first nation) car, he was a fisherman, the car was a Chevy Biscayne, '76, and the back seat was the garbage dump, piled a foot over the seat, the front passanger seat was soaked red, and the whole car smelled like the inside of a dead fish. Cig butts, and spilled beer/coffee, coke, you name it, it was in the car. I refused to work on it until it was cleaned out. There was no way for me to get to the trunk, it was piled with fishing nets and stuff. There were many others too similar to the postings above.

I most enjoyed clearing the dead,self-electrocuted, maggot infested rat from inside the dash of my sister-in-laws''78 honda. The blow-chunks on the floor were mine.

Oh my god...... some of that stuff is pretty sick.... I work at a grocery store, and we have to take the groceries out to the car. We always get the fat fat fat whores/bozo's who come in and need help out cuz they are too fat to take it out themselfs. One time, this lady had a pickup. In the back were these white trash bags. I walked up to it, and i noticed the amazeingly strong scent of urine. I almost lost it right there, but she told me to put her groceries ON TOP of the bags.... after i got done with that, i went to the back of our store and lost everything. It was pretty damn bad. I feel your pain!

I feel your pain grocery boy i did that for a year and a half, but the worst was not taking out someone's grocery's. The worst thing happened when on my way out of our breakroom this old man stopped me outside o fthe restroom and said he had and accident. I look inside the stall his diaper was stuck to the wall and s**t was every where. The manager tried to get me to clean it up and i screwed around in the breakroom for an hour and he got someone else to do it. People with kids are bad to leaving food and toys everwhere. once say a mercadiez *spelling* trash out by a woman and her kid

Hrm....let's just put it this way, I was kitchen crew/bouncer for a local bar when I was younger. Our specialty were triple suicide wings and Yingling (spelling?). Oh what fun...68...I had worse to clean up!!
As for cars....none near as bad as these above, garbage dumps in the back, yes, but no dead rodents or defication. Although, I have always "enjoyed" working on the systems of the guys who don't take care of their cars....ticks me off!! 89 Mustang...er rustang!! Need I say more?!

Ben I., when I read that part about white trash bags, I thought to myself "what the hell is a 'white trash' bag?" Sorry, damn tired right now. Just about cracked myself up.
