My other task this weekend (see my other post on the V1) was replacing the rear lenses and center reflector with newer ones that I got from our buddy Mr. Andreas (apparently his had built up 1/100" of dust on them and were no longer acceptable ).

Anyway, while removing my old center reflector, I saw something, tucked between the wiring. Upon closer inspection it was ... a dried-up, long-dead 2" long lizard.

Since we don't get many lizards in NJ, I'm thinking he stowed away shortly after the car was purchased new in Tampa, before it found its way north.

Sorry folks, no pictures, but really, in this case, it's a good thing.

Dave,
I'm glad they worked out. Dust, in any thickness, is bad.

I was wondering if any 8 legged creatures might have made the journey back with me from Phoenix to Edmonton this April. The car sat in storage for 3 months. I'm guessing that a couple of snow storms and some freezing temps probably took car of that problem.
