Just pick your Yaris up, turn it upside down and shake it a little bit and your ring will fall back out!

I was thinking the same thing! You guys are too much.
At least the ring was misplaced inside the car....
Way back in the day, working on the used car lot of dads Chevy dealer, I would find loads of change in the cars we moved in & out of there. I remember finding more than 10 bucks of change in a mid 70s Grand Prix...the drivers door sounded like a piggy bank when you closed it...well, until I cleaned it out !

I think we had a bag of italian beefs & fries that day for lunch...

Nook oughta get a kick outta that

During a Christmas break from college I was skiing with some friends at either Squaw Valley or Alpine Meadows (can't remember which), and at the end of the day we started driving back to where we were staying (Crystal Bay, NV right at the state line, IIRC). We decided to stop at a store, IIRC. I started looking around for my Day Runner which had plastic pages with my ID, credit cards, etc in it (mobile phones were around then, they were the ones the size of bricks (may have still been corded) and very few people had them ). I couldn't find it. We pulled over so people could get out and I could get a better look inside the car. I got out of the car, and my Day Runner was on the roof of the car! The ski rack had kept it from sliding off the roof. Given the number of miles and the curvy roadbed, I was amazed it was still there.

I got a chill just reading that! Thank goodness for the ski rack, it would have been history on a flat roof.
Glad you found the ring Roxy, that's pretty important & now you can breathe easy. (WHERE'S the relieved smiley??)

Funny.

A short time ago my brother-in-law and I were talking about scrapping and recycling of cars. He was saying that it has been determined that an average of $1.69 is hiding inside of cars being scrapped. I'm not sure of the mechanics, but somebody somewhere had invented a machine which literally picks up and shakes the junker. Loose change is collected in a huge dish below.

$1.69 x ??million cars scrapped annually = some serious coin
