OMG! The most MESSED up thing just happened!!

I had a rat under the hood of my old Buick Skyhawk. It chewed through some of the wiring under the hood so the car wouldn't start. I popped the hood and a rat the size of a cat jumped out. Scared the CRAP out of me! My dog got ahold of it though and that was the end of the rat.

My mom once had a squirrel store its winter nuts under the hood of her Jeep Cherokee. Luckily, the squirrel didn't meet its demise under the hood, but the engine did when the acorns caught on fire from the heat of a long road trip

MBrooks,

Thanks for the tip. Next time I go camping windows UP and doors shut.

The .50 cal can still skip a round into an unknown direction. YES it can go through a block but if it hits in an angle it could easily glance off into who knows where. That round is so damn heavy that it could easily hit someone or something far off. Especialy since the commonly available ammo for it is not AP at all.

I like how we're actualy discussing the physics and dynamics of a round through the hood (and a big ass badger) and its possible ricochet...

Cats used to be inside the engine compartment when my dad used to start our old station wagon, but they somehow always made it out in time......9 lives I guess.

I've never seen any rodents where I live. The reason why could be that we have so many snakes around here. Snakes and cats are good defenses against rats and mice.

That's the reason. But then you have snakes. Yeah, we no longer have mice, moles, or chipmunks. But that's because 3 of my cats are very eficient atr bringing home "presents" that nobody wants. they killed all the little stuff so know it's just birds and an occasional rabbit.
