This isn't really a Corvette question, but I would appreciate the advice of all my friends here.
When I bought my Vette, there was a stain on the carpet under the driver's seat like coffee or chocolate milk. I cleaned it off as best I could, and then forgot about it as it was not normally seen. It was all dry.
Today I was retrieving a can of brake fluid that I had bought and tossed temporarily under the driver's seat. Now, let's not get all honked off on the fluid - the can is still sealed and full.
Anyhow, the outside of the can was covered with a sticky, brown substance. It smelled like coffee or chocolate, or perhaps vanilla. It was distinctly brown, just like chocolate.
So I look under the seat and it is really wet and sticky - tons of this stuff, whatever it is. It took buckets of water and rags and almost a full roll of paper towels to get most of it up - hopefully the carpet is drying as we "speak".
What was it? Nobody drinks ANYTHING in her, my wife does not, and it hasn't been in any shop recently that they might have had a coffee in unless I was right there. I am stumped.
Ideas anybody?
