Squirrel????

So this afternoon I installed my CAI. As I removed the air box, I noticed a bunch of acorn shells in the bottom. The only way that I can figure the critter got in was from the intake by the grill. The car was stored during the winter in a shelter logic portable garage. I wonder what else I'm going to find?

Its hard to imagine a squirrel because I know up north they can sometime get as big as a cat . I know most of the time its mice or rats. They also LOVE to eat the wires :( which can cause nightmares.

Yeah. You might want to trap them and relocate them or use some repelent.

TRUE! I just finished replacing the wires on my Dad's lawn tractor this week because a squirrel made his winder residence inside the engine cover. What a pain!
