Yeah...Z's like to eat tools.

Attempting to tighten that long connector at the back of the plenum, I dropped a 1/4" drive ratchet handle between the firewall and the MAP sensor on my Z and I swear it vanished into thin air!?? I put it on jack stands and searched and searched. I even used a piece of rope stretched across the bell housing - thinking it got stuck in the tunnel. Nadda!!

However, last spring when I removed the passenger side gill panel last spring for painting, I found a 10 mm socket hitchhiker - been there for at least as long as I've had the car (7 years) - but wasn't mine.
