Mouse FAIL
 

No, it's not some random image that I came upon on the internet. This is what I found when I came out to the shop the other day. I left the drain pan under the car after dropping the oil to remove the turbo drain.

:laugh: Stupid little bastard!

Hey, for a once you can't tell me that it's a repost, as I took the pic!:bowrofl:

:vash:

I didn't know rats bathed in oil. I guess you learn something new every day.

Looks like someone might have been lubing up a rodent for a little "gerbilling" when it got away.

I dare you to leave that laying out at night..with some food near it...and video the hilarity that will ensue.

Little bastard was probably working on your car. You should thank him:D

a bunny keeps jumping on my hood. I have a bottle of Borolo awaiting its demise.

Sure it isn't a cat? No one here would care anyway, it's not like anyone here likes cats.

I went months with cat paw racing stripes and a fuzzy cat hair top, he eventually died but my paint was too far gone to save.

Oiled up little fuck. :laugh: Did you follow the trail?

Its funny. As I was reading this post lastnight a fucking mouse jumped out of the heater and ran across the floor. My gf just started renting this place and it seems these fuckers were here first.

I set a trap lastnight and the little fuck ate the peanut butter but didn't set off the trap. I tested it to make sure it was working and almost snapped my own god damn finger! :vash:

We have been hearing something in the wall by the heater (wall radiator) for a couple days now. At least now we know what it is.

I chased it but lost it. I had a carrot in my hand that I was planning on killing it with. The dogs are psycho now and pawing at the wall non-stop. Hopefully I can catch and kill these bitches this week.

another one
 

From last weekend's zoo trip. I'm not sure what was up, but he kept following me around like he wanted to give to me.

Moat of antifreeze around car, done.

Raccoons are the problem out here, it was cats when I lived in FL. My mom used to feed them in our garage and I would chase them off. At least the cats haven't figured out how to open car doors....I caught a raccoon red-handed opening the OTM's door when we left it unlocked once.

It's meth heads around here. They have gotten pretty smart and can also attempt to open car doors, but they usually can't figure it out and just smash a window to get into your car to steal the thing of least value out of it. I usually chase them off with a 9mm but they don't learn their lesson and come back. Maybe I should set an oil trap and follow their scurried little shuffling oily foot prints back to their dwelling.

check your wires, the mouse was probably eating something

A cat vomited IN my wiper cowl yesterday, needless to say, I was pissed

At least it wasn't cat pee.... if it had been your car would be totaled.

Back when I had my RX-7, I left the sunroof open one night. When I went to go to work the next day, I jumped in my can and heard a thud. I turned around to find a grey cat sitting in the hatch looking at me funny. Needless to say, as soon as I opened up the door and got out it quickly decided to do the same.

Had that happen once when I left the window open on the Miata. I started down the driveway and had the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Looked back to see a cat stretching like nothing peculiar was going on. I think he changed his mind as he was flung out the damn window. That scared the piss out of me.

Bosses wife has a 02-03 T-bird. One sunny day she went out to her beloved T-bird, and noticed there was a cat in the passenger seat. Said cat ran off, but did its damage. Pissed on the leather seat, carpet, and center console. They spent three days trying to clean the car, to no avail. Finally they filled an insurance claim, and $3,000 later it was remedied. New Center console, New carpet, New seat covers, New foam pads. She vowed that if she ever saw that cat she would kill it with her bare hands.

I've heard that leaving a few strips of duct tape on the ground around the car, sticky side up, can work wonders.

Not too long ago I had some fluid leaking from what it looked like around the radiator. Seemed to be leaking onto my lip and pooling on the pavement below. Searched for about 10 minutes and could not for the life of me find the source. Rubbed it between my fingers to feel the viscosity, coolant perhaps? Then I decided to smell it.

Cat piss.

:giggle:

thats horrible and hilarous

shoulda tasted it too

I did this EXACT same thing last Friday. Oddly, I had just topped off the overflow, so my natual reaction to seeing a somewhat brightish green-yellow stain on my front lip was like yours.....wipe, check viscosity and smell...... oh the gagging that came after step #3. Well, I shouldsay, I had been congested so the first time I attempted to smell it, I couldn't quite get it...then I really took a deep wiff..... ohthehugemanatee.
Sucks, doesn't it?

I never smelled it before. Describe the scent please:D
Is it bad like someone took a big shit in a tiny bathroom, or like the skunk that gets hit on the highway bad?

Hehe...borrowed my father-in-law's '95 Civic that was parked outside in the grass. Was just pulling out of the neighborhood when a little green snake poked it's head up out of the hood at the base of the windshield and I swear the damn thing looked at me through the glass.

My driver's side window was open....I've never cranked up a window so fast in my life.

That's what Stein needs, a snake to take care of his rodent problem

And then another rodent to take care of his soon to be snake problem LOL

Or a mongoose! :idea:

when i worked at a body shop, we had had cars in the lot sitting without doors, hood, whatever, all the time waiting for parts or just to be hung. well one day a customer brought his car back complaining it smelled. ended up pulling the dash out to find a dead snake wrapped up around stuff

It happens every year this time of year. We have been dipping into the 20's most nights and the field mice come inside where it is warm.

A month ago I put out those 1" cube rodent blocks every 10' around the shop. They are chewed up and I know they work because I have found half a dozen dead ones. I also have two of the electronic rodent repellers. I think that the only thing they repel is common sense when you part your money from your wallet, but whatever. I have two in each bay of the shop. STILL these little fuckers are around.:vash:

We use those electronic repellers at my last job to protect the electronic equipment on the top of the mountain. They're annoying as hell.

I used the electronic repellers in a barn for over a year while storing my Camaro. Granted, I had the tires off and the car on jackstands... but never a single mouse problem.

I put them in my garage this year and set out 4 traps as well since I seen a few in there. Killed 2 moles and 1 mouse in the first 2 days. Now it's been 5 days of no activity and its getting colder and colder outside. I have to imagine the electronic things work somewhat.

The oil trail is funny!
