    well, went to check my fluids today,first time in errrrr month maybe. (I know long interval, no flack pls) checked the oil, level is fine, I notice under the engine cover on the right side a NEST, hell no I think. Take cover off and the nest is, tissue paper, grass cuttings, even cloth. I removed it vacummed it all up, check the wires in the vicinity, no issue there. I use my car daily so not sure if anything was actually living there but all is good, no chewed anything. I will pop the hood on a regular basis now to check for that. I have never had an issue with nesting at my place before, IDK will keep an eye on the situation. damn kritters lol

    well, they want heat but I don't have a mice problem in the house. Outside is another matter I know. Like I said more rutine checks to keep it on top of it. And yes i know they can chew on wiring and make a mess

    I had an old guy tell me once that if you are going to leave a car sit for a while, leave the hood open. Mice and other critters don't like the hood being opened. I think he is right because he had 6 nice old cars sitting in a barn with hoods open and none had any wires eaten through
