Rats are pretty cool, until they go up the exhaust pipe of your 2014 sky blue Rav 4 and chew up all the wires...
Apparently? That's what my mechanic said. Apparently some rodent went up my car's exhaust pipe and somehow the ignition wouldn't turn on? They had to pull out the flooring of my car
Wow that's wild I'm not doubting you ...just don't see how the rat got past the exhaust valve then pass between a piston and piston wall then make it through an intake valve through a head then pass through a head cover ...but hey like OP said RATS ARE AWESOME!!! Maybe he was ASE certified and brought little bitty SnapOn tool kit with him ..."cute lil ole lil rat baby" lol ..."RONI !!!!!!"
Frog might have a point there OP (Unless it takes em 3 days to swim a 1/2 mile) "Even though they may be the last ones off a sinking ship, rats are able to dive and swim underwater for as long as 30 seconds. In open water, they can swim as far as 1/2 mile or 0.8 km. They can use these remarkable aquatic abilities to swim upward through waste pipes and into toilets."
Lol maybe the rat used the exhaust pipe to crawl Up Under the hood, I know that those ass face squirrels can do It, why can't a rat?
