So, I always unclip my cell phone from my belt and put it on the passenger side seat when I drive. Don't want to hassle the unclip if it rings while I drive. At one point on my drive to work, I had to stop abruptly and out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little phone sail off the seat and plop onto the carpet. No big deal. I'll retrieve it when I get to work.
I get to work, open the passenger door - no phone. Not under the seat. Just nowhere. <Did I really have the phone this morning? False memory? No, I still have the clip on my belt. I SAW it sail off the seat. Where the f*** is it?>
I had my wife call the cell. I can hear it. It's way up front. It's under the carpet. WTF?
I pull the carpet back from the ~45 degree sheet metal in the foot well. But that's all there is sheet metal. The phone is apparently behind that. WTF? again.
Back into the office. Find a screwdriver. Back to the car. Carpet pulled back. At the very top of the foot well, there is about a 1" gap between the sheet metal the carpet rests on and the the actual "floor board". I can barely put the screwdriver down there, but I push and scrape and, lo and behold, through a small hole in the sheet metal, I can see the phone antenna. Can't do anything but touch it, which gets me nowhere.
Back into the office. Find some #10 electrical wire. Back out to the car.
Snake the wire down through the 1" gap trying to find the hole where through which I can see the antenna. After standing on my head for 5 - 10 minutes, I manage to snake the wire through.
I tie the wire around the antenna and, finally, retrieve the phone.
My God! How the heck did that happen. The phone fell on the floor, went all the way up the carpet to the underside of the dash, pushed away the carpet, fell through the 1" gap, and back down to the base of the foot well.
If, for some reason, you WANTED that to happen, it NEVER would.
Yup.. Makaha aka mouthdr was gonna sell his car when that happened.. at least had us all believing that for a day or so. [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]
