Gross car stuff

I take it you do auto repair?

I find rat damage all the time. They don't really cause problems unless they car has soy based wiring or composites (like Toyota airboxes and harnesses). Sometimes they will chew up normal wire or insulation to make nests too. Most people don't realize but if you live in an area with rats or mice chances are there's been one in your car, but they mostly run away once it's started or moving. Cars that sit for a long time without being driven are the ones that get nests built in them.

yeah

I know it's not common but honestly, to me that's one of the scariest parts of living out west. There's mice fucking everywhere too.

Mice and rats drive me nuts, and since I started living rurally I've taken precautions to make sure their populations are minimized in on my modest plot of land. I got 3 young cats and 2 old ones from a shelter. Never see any evidence of mice or rats since I got them.

I worked as a valet several years ago, cars like that were the bane of my existence. People are fucking pigs.

Dad used to work at a Volvo repair shop.
>20 something girl brings in 740 wagon
>Smell of death inside
>WTF
>Pack of rotten steaks underneath drivers seat
>Package is filled with maggots
>Nicknamed it the maggot wagon

I still have no earthly idea how that girl never wondered wtf the smell was in her car. Nor did she apparently car.

Cracked heater core.

Had it happen to me in the middle of an 18 hour road trip in the middle of winter in my old 95 thunderbird. Worst part is, no heat and no defrost. Worst trip ever.

Antifreeze, probably from the heater core.

LOLOLOL.

MEH, found a bumch of pills and pipes in my car. Stepdad is a cop and owns a retired drug dog we just run himbthrough all my shitboxes now

...

For saving a few dollars per car, because cars are disposable assets now and are designed to last the warranty then get crushed.

That's pussy Rez. I put towels down when I fuck my GF FOR THIS REASON

Where do you live that looks just like a gila monster

darn hentaivirus

>Most people don't realize but if you live in an area with rats or mice
There is no such thing as a place without mice. Even in new homes, they crawl around and chew a tiny hole to get inside where it's warmer. Once in your walls, they use the holes that pipes and wires have. If those aren't wide enough, they will chew and widen them eventually as they spread nests thru the walls.

I don't see how they get inside my garage, but I've caught mice in there with baited traps. The mice are amazingly fast at combination twisting and reversing at the same time. Even though the trap should have whacked the body, it often only catches the rear leg or haunch on a twister mouse. It may catch the head on one that only reverses.

The worst is a glue trap because the mouse is pain-free. A pain-free mouse shits everything out (is that to leave a bad taste in the predator's mouth?) and there will be a mountain of poop next to the now thinner mouse. A mouse in severe pain doesn't seem to poop much if at all.

Also includes buttcrack shit juices

>Mice and rats drive me nuts
It's why I always have put two of those cheap plastic mousetraps from walmart in the garage. Just in case. I crush a peanut in folded newspaper and then pour the crumbs into the bait holder. I refresh the bait about once every 2 weeks or so. I thought I had a clean garage but there a mouse was caught about a year ago. None since.

I haven't seen you on here in awhile. you had this car at one point didn't you?

dat pvc pipe tho

ew~

Cars will get more than one feral cat on cold nights. One is under the hood and the others have to rough it in the wheel well. Importantly, they are not on the ground where cold ground currents flow. Second, they are isolated from some of the icy open air currents. I've come out to the car before and 2 cats would run out from it. People are getting better at not putting out catfood, so the feral cat population has mostly starved and died out. Thus, there isn't a huge chronic number of freezing starving cats each winter. After the tough love, there's only a few to almost none left.

It's better that way. Having just a few hungry feral cats means they spend their time hunting the mice and pests instead of ignoring most of the mice and eating just the tasty cat food handouts.
