At 70 mph, all of a sudden I see something moving out on the hood of the El Camino.
The little fucker was trying to hold on for dear life.
He managed to hang on long enough for me to get off the freeway and onto a side street.
I slowed down and then slammed on the brakes.
Off he slid.
I saw the little bastard beating feet off to the side of the road and away I went.
Weird.
You’re a good man Phil.
What was it?
Peppermint oil spray and one of those ultrasonic noise makers. Keeps the rodents out of your vehicle. Rodents will chew up your vehicle wiring.
A rat rod?
Would’ve been a dead-ass rat, if it had been me. I’m pretty kindhearted toward most animals, but not them or a few others. Coyotes, for instance, I’ll kill at any range I can see, if they’re on friendly or family property.
When the “check airbag” light comes on, you don’t want to mess around. When the tech says, “It looks like a mouse chewed the wire…” and you say yup, that’s what it was, dig deep. Take out your checkbook with both hands…
Sticky traps are neat, but you can’t beat the Victori-whatever® to catch a living wire-chewing basterd..Use cheese. The part we need is in a container ship off the coast of Iowa or something, and would be here by Valentine’s Day. That’s 2027.
I will advise (and complain) when the part is installed, and we get a final bill…
Sheesh…
Put em behind the .30 cal for suburban driving. Looks like he’s willing.
