The scariest part of this whole thing is that while the lizard was in the running car, AC on full bore; he actually went in to his house, got on the Internet and told us all about it! 
Hahaha wow that thing aint small either!
About 2 weeks after I purchased my first car (Acura Legend) I took apart the dash to install a cd deck and I found a dead mouse in there, darn thing was rock solid too, totally preserved. oh and beside it was a piece of paper with japanese writing on it... perhaps a recipe? hahaha

ROFLMAOCOPTER. I have not laughed that hard in years, no kidding! I'll be tracking this thread too. Hahaha, this should be cross linked to show room so that everyone can see it, not just regular visitors of Maintenance. I've never seen iguana's in the wild here. We have gecko's and anoles though, those crazy little lizards. A rat made a home in our Honda's engine bay one time. Next time it was started, it became entangled in the accessory belt; not pretty.

Sum-oh yeah!!!!! That's one huge critter. I hunt deer and birds, but wouldn't have touched that evil looking reptile for love or money. Make a meal for four...
Maybe you can sell it to the pet store and get your C-note outta the deal?

I'm keeping him and building a habitat for him. He's 3 feet long with tail right now and very mean. Tries to bite and claw at me when ever I pick it up. Must miss the volvo. I will post more pics with the habitat and the poor volvo in pieces.

Your Garage is not worthy
For the Masterpiece you built
That only looks like it cost a Fortune
While most flaunt their cars by going fast
You show off Standing Still

Ha ha ha! 
"lizard inside", now that's siggy material right there. You'll have to get a window sticker "beware of lizard" or "got lizard?"
Wonder how it got in the car in the first place?

if you think it'll help, i've got some extra s70 interior pieces (he does seem to be quite the volvo conisewer, he might be able to tell the difference). maybe find an extra door, cover in lexan, and make that his habitat (just mount it to the wall and gently rock him to sleep). personally i would've left it. "hey baby, wanna come out to my car and check out my iguana?"

Be glad the SPCA or PETA didn't get wind of this ~ you would have an injunction on you and they'd make you turn the Volvo into his habitat.

I can feel you pain because I used to have a crab went under my dash board as well. It took me like 2 hours to get it out.
