I live near a forest and field mice used my engine area to keep warm after I’d get home for a week or so. The little bastards would set the alarm off every time they ran by the hood sensor. I’d have a nice collection of seed shells and mouse crap on the rad every morning. I finally had to take the battery out and put a trap there… caught 3 mice. Jason ---

Bahahaha… That’s awesome. And it’s ironic b/c FD owners generally refer to their mess of wiring and sequential TT boost control setup as “the rat’s nest”. In a non-related but equally awesome bit of irony, the hairiest guy I knew back from HS has fallen victim to male pattern baldness. ---
