That is hilarious. I have this happen all the time, although not to this degree. Had a nest in the airbox, and the cabin filter. Was a total mess. Last time I actually pulled some sort of dead baby mouse or chipmunk from the airbox.

That has got to be one of the most hilarious things I've seen in a looooooong time. I guess I'm lucky, living where I do. I've never had to deal with find a nest or nuts or dead animals, or anything, in my car. YET. I narrowly missed hitting a couple of cats once, though.

I wonder how much power you gained just by removing the nuts?

Is there an equation for nuts removed from airbox to horsepower gained?

In my 08 Impala, some critter put hickory nuts inside the rear subframe. I can see one half hanging out one of the holes. That's not nearly as bad as what they did to my 95 Camaro. They packed the muffler with them! Took me a while to figure out what the smell was. Next morning I stood on the gas going down the street and a whole bunch of them came flying out the exhaust! After several days of this they stopped coming out but I ahd to remove the muffler and shake out the last dozen or so.

Gotta keep the garage door closed better.
