Sister In-law's Car Trouble

[gary_in_neenah]

Sister In-Law was having problems with her car the last few days. It was running OK but was making noises even after she shut it off. The last couple of days it started giving off an odor that just didn't seem right. So she took it in and the mechanic popped the hood and this little guy jumped out at him.

​

Seems he, or she had built a nest behind the glove compartment and settled in for the season. I know in some places people eat these things, but mostly here in Sconnie we just take'm out in the country and set him loose. As was the case with this little guy.

Kind of a cute little thing LOL, these things give off a bad bad musky odor, one time I opened up my air cleaner in my 4Runner and there was half of a chocolate chip cookie and all sorts of other goodies, it was on the outside of the air filter thank God he didn’t chew his way through into the motor area, I’ve heard of friends up in Wisconsin having their wire harness chewed through by mice, I guess it’s a soy based product that the insulation is made out of and it’s just yummy yummy to them
