Lol, you guys are rough. This was before camera phones, it even might have been before I had a digital camera.
I just went out there to take some pics of what has "collected" in that area recently, but then I got embarrassed and realized that I need to clean the engine bay.

Anyways, the run was pretty awesome. Exhilarating to say the least!!!
Next weekend I'll be out of town. But maybe the week after that.

And, in a 1978 VW Rabbit diesel, I found squirrel poop pellets sitting on the battery. Also found numerous acorns tucked in the sound deadening pad on the underside of the hood. I identify with Elmer Fudd singing: "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit," except in my case it was 'kill the squirrel'. Those squirrels have accompanied me from Massachusetts all the way down here to South Carolina, where they do damage to my home and strip all the fruit from the palm tree in my front yard.

I'm always amazed by guys with clean engine bays. The hood stays down probably 99 percent of the of cars life. (The bay up above is super clean). So what do I care? Maybe I'll change when I get more go fast bits in there.

Dont want to stretch this off topic.. But this might be one of the easiest cars to keep the engine bay clean on. I Haven't "Officially" cleaned mine since I got it and people still think its super clean. (car sleeps outside too)
Anyways. Yeah keep me posted on trips to the mountains, I'm itching to get out there and
