Look What I found hiding in my wheel gap!

yatesfloyd · 02-04-2017, 12:11 PM

Kind of confused about what he was doing. And yes, I did help him get out before I drove off

tranquility · 02-04-2017, 12:32 PM

Aww, what a cute little bugger. Hopefully it didn't chew on anything lol.

lennyf · 02-04-2017, 12:34 PM

Be careful dude.
Those things will wreak havoc with your electrical if they decide to nest in your engine bay.
I had a ground squirrel chew through firewall padding to make a nest in my wifes 535i not to mention a wiring harness.
my 2 cents.....

dzvero · 02-04-2017, 12:35 PM

He was patiently waiting for the pic

08njSTEP · 02-04-2017, 12:45 PM

He's just looking for nuts

sygazelle · 02-04-2017, 12:54 PM

You need to ungap your car like this guy...

lsturbointeg · 02-04-2017, 02:05 PM

HXS · 02-04-2017, 02:29 PM

Obviously your car isn't low enough lol

It would be funnier if that was a porcupine. Then it'd be harder to spot the prick in the BMW.

Oooh, take it to a taxidermist and make it into a leaping hood ornament like a Jaaag.

Frill..., nobody would fuck with the dude that has a REAL squirrel hood ornament.

Means business, like a Mack truck.

Ric in RVA · 02-06-2017, 08:14 AM

Squirrels are known chewers of wiring insulation.

Volvos, Hyundais and Subarus seem to be afflicted more right now than other brands.

I see it in auto claims fairly often.

How true, when I changed my plugs, a mouse decide to eat the rubber on all the plug coils. I was so pissed they found there way under the value cover housing. I drive my car almost every day, I seen this issue with car which sit, but really they hit my car over night.

Precisely.

j_marinelli · 02-07-2017, 06:25 PM

True about the wire eating... At the super bowl party this past weekend one of the guys just got his tundra back from toyota. One of those little buggers got in there and chewed up the main wire harness which had to be completely replaced.

Maynard · 02-08-2017, 02:44 PM

I think you should caption this with s/t like 'these wheels are too small' and sell it to VMR or BBS for advertising. And loving the lion statue in the background (unless I'm seeing it wrong) - FWIW, my cats are of little help keeping the critters away (but I think mine are sisified snowflake cats, made soft by too much liberal media - I expect there are tougher ones out there for this type of work).
