Default X Marks the Spot

So I was messing around in my car yesterday and was trying to put in a new shifter ****, which I still can't fit because I don't know how to put on the Allen screws, but anyways, I didn't have enough room so I moved my chair back all the way and when I looked down to my right, I found two gift cards, one to Trader Joe's and one to Lowe's. The person who had the car before me probably lost them under the seat. I thought, oh, they're probably all used up. So, I called up the number on the back of the Trader Joe's card and it said the balance was $1.38, which I guess I can still use. As for the Lowe's gift card, when I called up the number on the back, the balance was, drum roll please, $36.18. Talk about striking gold. I probably won't have any use for the card but my mom said she might pay me for both and then use the gift cards herself. I've also found an eyeglass rag, from one of those glass care kits and a gas receipt from when the car had only 297 miles on it. The cost to fill up the tank was like $20.00 or something. Ahh, those were the days, the days that I was too little to remember. You guys should really unscrew your center console if you have a 92-96 Accord and see what's under there because it's really easy for papers to slip in between the cracks in the middle compartment, so you never know what treasures you'll find. Well, happy treasure hunting.

Nice. A free $36 at Lowes is good stuff.

Yeah it is good stuff. And it is like a mini-lottery, just without all the hype and media.

Be a nice son and give the cards to your mom. Don't make her pay you for them!

Hey, she offered to pay for them. I didn't tell her she'd have to pay me for them.
