funny, i just picked up a '90 carat too, i bet it was grosser than yours..  5
dead mice, cat hair, cat poop, mouse poop, mouse pee, and enough mold to make
me sick (my temp was 102) for the past 3 days..   i missed going to
waterfest, i was in bed all day sunday..   next time i go in the van i'll wear a mask
and gloves..

ive had my share of gross parts vans,  this wasn't the worst but it was the
first time that i got sick from any of them...

good thing its just a parts van..
