My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Suspected I had a mouse in my cab from seeing some wierd crumbs and shredded bits of paper on the floor.

Left a cookie (naturally) on my floormat yesterday when I got home to see how whole it was going to be this morning.

It was gone 🙄 started the search..

Found a nest on my battery made from blankets I have stuffed in the back seat, and the M.F'er ate half a bag of... snacks.. I had locked in the glovebox that I got for a friend who's battling M.S.


This is apparently a somewhat common issue with the new trucks. I think they get in through the fresh air vent for the cab.. remember reading about the issue quickly a couple months ago. Some people have even had nests between the headliner and roof.

This pisses me off -__-

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

You should post some "No Rodents Allowed" signs.

I actually saw them on the news this morning... they had a DYI guy on live and he plugged the company.
I was going to reply: 'I guess if I was a mouse and saw some of my buddy's you-know-whatzas layin' around, I'd beat a path the hell outta there'.
Know what I mean?

Mice are a problem in newer vehicles. I'm told it's because the wiring insulation is made from soy now and it's edible. Plastic is a no-go now for environmental reasons, causes global warming or some shit.

Mini has had this issue for years now... not everything that is new is improved.

You are correct. It has been an issue for years with Hondas.
