Not shown: two double panels of The Rolling Stones on stage, a BIG gigantography covering all the roof (from the inside) of Maradona, and a lot of small curtains and trinkets of Boca Juniors in the front.

Best one I can remeber? The dude with a fake "minibar" of alcoholic beverages next to the drivers seat, and a LOT of fluffy interiors, like you know teddy bears with long "hair" ? Yeah that but blue, everywhere. And carved mirrors, these dudes love carved mirrors for some reason.

Also frequent: little and not so little fucking altars to a miriad of small deities like saints or Gauchito Gil, Gilda, Difunta Correa, Maradona, etc
