Horseshoe is not so weird, after all we need all the luck we can get
with our vans. Now if you'd found a horse....
Not weird items just a weird place to find it. Found a 10 mm snap on
combination wrench, on the frame rail, more than a year after I'd
bought the van. Still can't figure out how it stayed there, I'd
bounced around at SdM, among many other places.
