Dead battery but found GOODIES in the trunk
I went to take her for a spin today and the battery's dead. Strange because I've left it for two weeks before without a problem. Short story even shorter...trying the charger that was in the trunk when I bought it.
THE INTERESTING PART:
I haven't lifted the trunk carpet since I bought the car last Fall. Didn't even do it then as I had the dealer PPI the car under the supervision of a PCNA friend. I just believe that there's no point in hiring a dog if you're going to do your own barking so I didn't poke around too much and left it to the pros.
Imagine my surprise when I lifted the carpet and found the tool kit and what appear to be plastic tarps and a set of disposable gloves in a Porsche parts bag.
Now the toolkit I always assumed was just missing but I didn't even know the car came with gloves and a tarp for changing tires.
Neat!

There's a spare tire, too!
It took me a while to get under there, too and I was pleasantly surprised by all of the aging goodies; including a bag for the flat tire which must go into the passenger compartment!

Tire looks like it's in good shape...I wonder if it will hold air if I need it to? Hard to imagine it would after being squished for 20 years.

I used to find all kinds of interesting things in a FIAT that I owned. Apparently the PO was a Dr. in Vegas who liked to buy lingerie for someone, based on the receipts and the "goodies" hidden between the seatback and bottom in the back...
