Default Rats!

Bad news guys, I went over a buddies house on saturday and let him test drive my car, after, he was checking it out and we happened to pop the hood and noticed that a rat had been living in the engine compartment. My engine cover was full of ****,****, and hair. Not to mention that it was very scratched up and the chewed up wiring every where. Since I only drive my car on the weekends, its been sitting there untouched but did notice a burnt smell last weekend and prior to the discovery. My pops and I took the engine cover off and cleaned it up, also inspected the wiring. The good news is that I found the little bastard cooked to a char on one of the manifolds.

Rats and mice love to nest in motors. Go to a junk yard and open a hood, they scatter!

Always put traps and moth ***** near your car, especially if you live in a big city and/or out in the country.

Yep, I too want a RAT in one of my cars...in the form of a 572ci Chevy crate motor!!

good tip on the moth *****!!! i got rats again today, i got the perfect solution, putting my car in the spray booth tomorrow morning and cranking it to a 180 degree bake cycle for a couple of hours, that should make those rats scatter!
