The stopper in my '95 ATX has looked like that for a couple years.  I 
hardly ever use the parking brake; maybe that contributed to its 
deterioration?  Every time I have my hands down in the footwell 
(installing stereo wiring, aftermarket alarm, etc.) I end up with that 
impossible black tar-like goo somewhere on my hands and arms.  Up until 
yesterday, I didn't ever seek out it's arch-enemy; now I've cleaned up 
the whole area with a big bottle of isopropyl.  Thanks for the tip.

Regards,
Jon Heese
