Fuzzy Cadillac

Check out the fuzzy dash at Silver Creek.
Years ago we lived in a shotgun with a parking lot next door. A young man's Cadillac had broken down and he was fixing it in the parking lot. He dropped out the gas tank (yes, in the parking lot), but couldn't finish that night. Shortly after leaving, the car caught on fire. Why is this pertinent to the fuzzy bug?
This Cadillac was covered dash, steering wheel, head liner, seats, doors-everywhere-in white fuzz. Including white fuzzy dice and it all turned into little, black clumps. I felt sorry for the guy, but that was some seriously funny looking melted fuzz!
