Re: [Healeys] Black specs on the trunk lid.

[Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net>]

Black spots are usually watery soot spat out the exhaust when the engine and 
exhaust are cold (I have a few on some pant 
legs).  Why they end up on the trunk I don't know, unless your tailpipe is too 
short; i.e. it doesn't extend beyond the 
bumper.
