Years ago I went to get change out of my '64 Fairlane, which I kept in the ash tray. I shut the tray after retrieving soda money and returned a second later to plastic burning a sparks flying. A quarter had bounced out of the tray, fell onto the amp gauge and lodged onto the two posts, creating a perfect jump. I was lucky to catch it.
