There is a 61 bug for sale in the classified section. It has a picture of "this" located on the passenger side floor board. Can anyone tell me what "this" is?

A well ventilated hookah.

The upside down chrome thing is a cheesy aftermarket air filter.

It's as effective there as it would be on top of the carburetor. Laughing

Looks like a filter canister for a respirator. Usually there are two needed, but old style gas masks only had one. They are usually army green.
Chrome, must be for parades.

To me it's an indication that the POS won't start unless you prime it down the carb a little first, or maybe the choke sticks on and needs to be held open, or possibly it requires a shot of ether, either way it's sick (and not in that cool sick way). Once it was finally started up to move to the photo location the owner grabbed the shitty airfilter before closing the decklid and tossed it inside the car.

Nothing is random. It’s a code from the Overlords. They’re watching. They’re everywhere.

Jesus was standing on a mountain top holding a stick of butter.

Pass it on.

If I may resume- it's the chloroform gadget Matt Damon and George Clooney slid to the vault guards on "Ocean's Eleven"

It's clearly a prototype echo dot.

What has me more concerned is what appears to be an almost completely blocked heat vent.

Your mockery of the overlords has been reported.

I’ve said too much. Must go underground.
