What is this part?

[GraniteCrystal]

Found this on the floor of my garage. Maybe it's nothing to do with my cars, but I don't like finding pieces from something lying around. Any ideas?

Could that be a part from your roof rack?

Appears to be the dynamic alignment module for the flux capacitor. :cheesy:

Ok seriously though, if what I'm seeing is accurate...

Black, plastic, 1 inch cup in the top, it's a lawn stake for a decorative light or some such.

Good guess. Definitely not from the roof rack though. Installed that recently and no plastic parts like that.

No wonder I'm stuck in 2016.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Just don't think we have anything like that so no idea how it got in our garage.

Is it a part from a Christmas decoration? Like an inflatable Santa or reindeer or something? Being it was just Christmas and all...

I even consulted with my wife and 18yo son, who already know everthing, we all think it's some manner of stake that gets stuffed in the lawn for a decorative widget.

Looks like the piece that goes into the seat for the headrest to fit into.

Does not look like a jeep part to me...

Looks like part of a camping chair insert or something.

Thanks for all the ideas! It's precise purpose/identity remains a mystery but I think I feel confident enough that it's not off one of our cars. Looked in the lawn and couldn't find anything like that but maybe one of our under carriages picked it up on the road or something. Who knows?

Reminds me of the plastic plug that came in my shotgun magazine to limit capacity.

Go lay it in your neighbors garage and see if he asks you if you know what it is!

I still think it could be a part off the flux capacitor. Unlikely you can produce the required 1.21 gigawatts without it.

My guess.

That definitely looks a lot like it! Is that a light for a path in a the yard?

Mystery solved!! I went to get my trash can and noticed the lid was loose. Looked at the other side of the hinge and aha!

Lol. That's awesome. Glad your Jeep didn't blow up.

Lol! When you figured it out you could have posted in the What am I looking at thread. Glad you figured out though. It would have drove me nuts.
