Post by: MasterBlaster on April 01, 2005, 08:40:38 AM
Hopped in, turned the key, rrr-rrr-vrooooom-THUNK-THUNK.
Backfire?
Potato in the tailpipe?
Nope.
Should have stayed put, but I guess he tried to get out.
Does he look surprised to you too?

Nah, he was up front, hiding above the driver's fender liner. I can't tell if he got caught in the belt or fan, but there's little bits strewn here and there under the hood. And he was a rat. A big messy rat.

I think eventually I'm going to end up with a snake hitting my flex fan.

Normally I hate snakes, but I allow some of the black/indigo/whatever garden snakes to live around here because they're good pest control whenever I decide to grow food. Saw one of them poking its head up into my engine bay last year.

That could quite possibly be the funniest picture I have ever seen. The way its ass is sticking up, with the tail all bent and stuff :rollin:

Boy this board documents ALL the problems you could ever have with these Fox cars!  :giggle:

My insulation in the wheel well was all eaten up too by something, wish I could get my car to eat the critter like you did.

Birds eat rats, too - Eagles, hawks, owls, and apparently Thunderbirds...

Tbirds are sure a lot tougher than those old Chrysler K cars...

I knew this guy that had a new Fifth Avenue that would not start one morning. He called the dealer and gave them holy Hell, so they sent a tow truck to get it. To say he was pissed when the dealer called, and said there was a mouse in the timing cover that had caused it to jump time would be a understatement.

But he was even more pissed when they told him it wasn't covered by warrenty.. :rollin:
