LOL! :-)

I also have a complete wavegude/feed front-end assembly at 34 gigs for a satellite transmitter sitting in the junk pile back there as well.

Ummm... And an Argon/Ion laser, Geiger Meuller counter, liquid hydrogen valve from a NERVA rocket engine, S-band wavegude switch, spacecraft MLI, detector assembly from a VELA satellite, honeycomb titanium skin from a TDRSS satellite, Space Shutttle tile, Apollo era 3 axis gyro, a modern ring laser gyro, etc. (BTW I really do carry all this stuff - no exaggeration here)

My hatch back area looks like a surplus junk store.

(I travel around to schools giving lectures on space so I have tons of space hardware (JUNK) in my car)

Besides, you never know when you'll need a good LH2 valve...
