I go to my car and get in as usual but I noticed something weird out of the corner of my eye. I get a closer look and there it is.



Scared the crap out of me. Hopefully it got in thru the sunroof b/c I always leave it opened. If not, my car is in need of some serious deep clean and detailing .

I left my sunroof open in my Pathy by accident once.Got up on a Saturday Morning, looked out the bedroom window at the rainy day.......and noticed it was open!!! Had about an inch of water in the cup holder. Had to take the seats & console out to dry out the interior.My Saturday sucked!!

Thats a big *** roach. If a girl saw that I'm pretty sure it would ruin the date. My friend has a Pontiac trans am that had mice living in it until he put poison down.

There was a thread about a couple of the moderators that picked up a car, either a Lexus or a 240 (can't remember) and it was infested with mice. They were taking it 400 miles to it's new home, and were stopping at rest stops to shoo the mice from the car. I'll see if I can find it...

That's right...here's the story... The car has been sitting in a barn for the last year and a half. So needless to say, there are thoughts that a mouse got inside. So me and Chip fly up to Omaha last night to pick up the car and drive it back to Atlanta. They meet us at the airport, and hand over the keys. The former owners leave in another car, and me and Chip wait until they are gone before we start loading our luggage into the SC300. So we open the doors to the old car, and we nearly faint from the smell of mouse ****. We get in the car, in 30 degree weather, with the windows down and our heads hanging out the windows gasping for air. We pull into an oil change shop in Omaha, get the oil changed, and have the car vacuumed out (poor kid...we feel sorry for him). While getting the oil change, we walk down to the Autozone and pick up two of those scent canister car fragrance bomb thingys, and a bottle of car scent (all the deodorizing flavor). Also, some leather cleaner to clean the mouse piss off the seats. So we get back to the quicklube place, douse the car in perfume, and pull away. Turn on the headlights, and it looks kinda dim. So we pull into the Autozone again to check it out. Neither low beam works, and only one high beam work. 3 light bulbs and 2 fuses later, we have a working set of headlamps. We head out of town, towards Kansas City. Because it's 30 degrees outside, we turn on the heat. As quick as we turn it on, we turn it off, and decide to suffer the cold as opposed to smelling hot mouse **** through the vents. On the way to Kansas City, it starts to rain. We turn on the wipers, and it completely smears the windshield, making it impossible to see. We finally get to Kansas City, and meet up with Dan at a local Wal-Mart so we can buy some new wipers. Of course, after we bought new wipers, it didn't rain a drop the entire way back to Atlanta...go figure. We have dinner with Dan, tell him of our story, he laughs, and we continue on our merry way to find a hotel just outside of Kansas City. So this morning, we get up and start driving. Chip is driving, I'm riding passenger, when I feel something inside my pant leg. I shake my pant leg, and a freaking mouse falls out, looks up at me and says "yo dude, whatup" and runs under the freaking seat. As I'm screaming like a little school girl, Chip pulls over, and armed with a 4D cell maglite as weapon of choice, we search for the rodent. But unfortunately, he had gone into a hiding place and we couldn't find him. Giving up on the mouse beating, we continue on the road. This time I am driving (because I don't want to sit on the passenger side anymore). Chip is reading a magazine, looks over to me and says "don't move...the...." as I have a knee-jerk reaction looking for the critter, I feel the thing fall to the floor, and see it running around on the floorboard. Swerving all over the road, trying to stomp on a mouse, the thing gets away and runs under the seat. Chip told me when he saw it, it was sitting on my knee, grooming itself, and it said "hey dudes, how's it going, where are we headed?" So at this point, we try to calm ourselves, and are determined that the next time we see it, we are chucking it out the window instead of freaking out. So once again, Chip is driving. Now it's dark outside. I feel something on my chest, look down, and Mickey is staring at me, 3" away from my face. I scream, swat him to Chip's side of the car, and he runs under the seat again. Continuing on the trip....all is quiet, and we hear some bags rustle in the backseat, I turn around with the maglite aimed to the back, and I say "oh ****, I see him....them......all 3 of them!!!!!!" Immediately, Chip pulls over to a rest area, and with the light still shining on them, we manage to grab one (with gloves on), and chuck him out at the rest area. His cousins meanwhile scattered and fled into the depths of the car. As I continue looking at these things, Chip sees Minnie running back under the car and says "move the car move the car!! it's gonna find it's way back in." So I move the car down about 3 spots, on the other side of a truck. The thing ran straight to the car and started climbing up inside the wheelwell. I swatted him off, move the car to the other side of the parking lot, and continued looking for the things but with no luck. So one gone, at least 2 more to go. We finally make it to Atlanta. Driving through Atlanta, we hear another rustle, and Chip turns around with a light and sees one. Grabs it and chucks it out the window on I-75 in downtown Atlanta. He asks if I think it survived the fall. I said, "if it did, it didn't make it to the side of the road." So now there are 2 gone, at least one left. We finally make it to the Atlanta airport to my car. As Chip opens the passenger side door, the dome light comes on, and a mouse runs across his foot. Freaking out, he jumped out of the car, I got all my luggage out (and checked for mice), then loaded up my car. Chip decided to leave the SC300 at the employee lot of the airport and drive his other car home. His first mod plans are 5-10 mouse traps, checked daily, over the next few weeks. He then plans to take the car home, strip it to the shell, burn the interior, find a totaled SC, and take the interior. So yeah, how was your weekend?

Haha thinking about it, I should have named this 'check out my new mod'. Its been really hot the last couple days and maybe it's because of the heat but my car smells raunchy... I'm probably gonna vacuum it tomorrow morning but I hope it has nothing to do with that roach..........
