One time I had a 1963 VW bug. It was rusted out behind the drivers seat. One day I gave a girl a ride to work and she set her lunch behind the drivers seat. When we got to work it was no where to be found. I later turned that car into a German drain, sort of like a French drain but a VW instead of a pit of rocks. Drill a hole in the floor? Never. Not me.
