DARN CRITTERS

[bandit88]

Well Tuesday I took the Trans Am for a ride and she was running a little rich and throwing a code . So when I looked under the hood I found this

Along with the evaporator plug chewed up

So today I went to my local junkyard (which I haven't been to in about a year) and the people who work there still know me by my first name!
Is that bad?

Thats what can happen if your car sits for too long. It's a squirrel usually, but if could also be mice. I used to get that a lot in my outside shed, especially to the plug wires on my lawnmower. Don't know why they love that crap. Maybe they needed the part for their nut crusher?

The car sat for three weeks at the most....... since I'm home from school until next week i'm driving it every other day

and i did see two squirrels by my car yesterday and i ran out and yelled at them..... my neighbours must think i'm crazy...... i think i'm going to have to move the car to a new location all together

take a jar of very hot peppers the liquid is clear and paint the open areas around the car wiring a few times over the winter - now just remember after working on the car dont rub your eyes hahahahahahahahahaha its a learned thing i guess -- jz

[bandit88]

i'll try that tip....... it must smell very much better than the moth balls thing i read

[bubba428]

use habanero peppers, there hot as hell, not jalapeño, habanero.
