re: Weird things found in P.O. Alfas

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not an Alfa, or a used car, but my parents' '79 Fiat 131 came from 
the factory with a half-eaten chile pepper under the backseat--it was 
under the paint, too.

My GTV6 came from the PO with lots of rodents, rodent nests, and 
rodent feces in it, but I knew that going in.  There are still lots 
of acorns in it to this day, in places like the frame rails, 
headliner, and V of the engine.  I also found a sixth of a giubo 
wedged between the steering rack and its heat shield, which wouldn't 
be surprising except that the front giubo on the driveshaft was all 
there and overdue for replacement, so that chunk must have been there 
for more than half of the 69,850 miles that the car had on it when I 
bought it.
