Yesterday i had to go out and do a house call at a customers house up in the foothills, very exclusive area... I think this guy lives across the street..http://www.toonopedia.com/richie.jpg
Anyway I had to go up there because of problems with another lexus...
I get up there and open the hood and this time there's a huge packrat nest I spend 3 hours cleaning it out from the engine, remove the top cover to the motor and they got under the intake manifold and they chewed up all the wires going to 3 fuel injectors... Interesting way to bill someone for 3 hours..they only have a 2 car garage and have the park the third lexus outside where the packrats can get to it.... Sounds like this will be a steady job...

I see the ugly red x in your post but this time I could copy the url to the browser and view that way. Let's set if I have any better luck posting your pic.

Damn, that is guaranteed to offend animal rights activists everywhere.

Bill: it sounds like you're redefining the notion that the customer sucks (not intimating that you or I ascribe to it, but rat removal.....jeebus....I'd be thinking twice about answering that guy's call next time around).

it wouldnt be in your best interest to simply recommend mothballs for under and around the car...naww I knew that was a stupid idea.

cars with little packages of mothballs scattered all over under the hood... I think the packrats get high on mothballs..

the big booms was a 22.250 remington, probably moving a 45 or 55 grain hollow point/ballistic tip bullet 3700-4000 feet per second. and yes i am in the planning stages of building/buying one, the smaller pops was a 223 and the wimpy ones was a .17hmr
