My wife and I were going on a trip a few years ago, so I went out to check the oil and coolant in our car.
When I opened the hood, a large wet rat was sitting on the engine. I don't know who scared who the worse! I went "AHHH" and slammed the hood, and the rat took off. I never saw where he went he was moving so fast.
The whole trip I was worried about what wires he had chewed on!
My late grandma was in the nursing home the last few years of her life,but we left her car at her house to help prevent people from breaking in while she was gone. Anyway, it was a nearly new Century, and rats chewed the wiring harness. My Dad would drive the car from time to time,and it stranded him one time. He had to twist the chewed wires together enough to get him home.
They wound up putting those sticky pad things on the tires of her car. In theory, rats and mice would get stuck and die.
