This is no way for a newbie to introduce himself but did you check it for drugs....coming from Mexico who's to say....kidding of course.

Looks like one of those extendable handles for window washing, tree trimming or whatever. Some assembly line body just left it there obviously. I have heard stories of tools in doors or other panels in numerous vehicles. Maybe he/she was simply in a rush to lunch and left the mop handle???

I took it back to my salesman and put it back where I originally found it before I got there, and acted like it was a part that should have been installed on the car for a cheap thrill. I acted very serious and he was totally at a loss, fumbling for an explanation. But I let him off the hook after a few minutes.

Its a manufacturing tool of some kind - it says "King Automotive" on the lower part.

It's the flux capacitor. If you run 1.21 jigawatts through it, while it is in place of course, it will make you go really, really fast! I heard it works best at midnight, though.

That's plain silly. You cannot possibly develop over 1.0 jigawatts with a flux capacitor unless you are running it in direct sunlight!

Nonsense - the most accurate way to ensure that you are getting 1.21 jigawatts IS to do it at midnight and have it coincide with a lightning strike. This has been tested several times in the lab. Solar panels can gather light, but not discharge their total capacity anywhere near even 1.0 jigawatts.

Sure you can, you have to use the good ones that are still made in the USA. You must have had a cheap Korean flux capacitor.

Hey hey hey! I was made in Korea, (not as the nickname suggests), thank you! And I have a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty! Take that, round-eye!

I got 'yer 1.21 JigaWatts!
