MOUSE!

Post by TurboLegacy »

my car wouldnt start or run right lately. i found out that there was a mouse nest in my intake box, it had completely clogged the filter so that hardly any air was coming into the engine. so basically i had to pay 50 bucks to find a mouse nest, i never checked the air box, cuz i thought that i had screwed something else up by unplugging the bypass valve.

I read about somebody who found a Ferrari TDF in a barn and it had mice in the cylinders. Apparently they climbed through the open valves!

My faculty at university has (nope, had) two 15 person vans (econoline) untill a squirrel stashed hundreds of pine cones under the hood. Someone signed out the van, went to drive it around campus, and one of the pinecones fell and jammed the throttle wide open. Rather than putting it in Neutral, the driver piloted the van up an embankment, and landed on an integra. Pretty damn funny.

They should make the guy pay for the damage. He could have turned the ignition off and still had stearing ability
