    Oh Lawdy Jeezus that would be insane. Insanely AWESOME!!

    There is plenty of room for the Tundras in the next row over. It might get to the point where we end up organizing the coalition into 4 rows: Tundras, Tacomas, 4Runners, and all other Toyotas.

    Yeah those fuckers have destroyed 3 car covers, patio shade cloth, and the patio primary electric wiring since I moved out here. Last year my neighbor and I went on a "Jonestown Safari" and hunted those bastards down. Haven't seen one in while now that I think about it.

    Never seen a trace of a rat or mouse here, so this is new. Didnt find any other signs of them chewing on stuff, so thats good.

    Damn!

    Yeah that cold has brought them out. At our old house in North Austin the raccoons would try to get under the eaves between the house and the garage, tearing the shingles to hell. Several nights I was running out in my birthday suit to hose them down with a super soaker til they gave up. They finally realized that it was easier to just bed down on top of the grating of the chimney and I didn't mind.

    Does this have anything to do with soy in the wiring covers?

    28 for my 15 with 30k on it.

    that truck is at a dealer that paid too much to get from the person that had it.......I mean, it was a trade in at a KIA dealer....50k truck vs. a 20k car

    they probably gave the guy 25 for it....or 28...

    I've heard of that as well. Not sure. They've been muching on wires since wires were invented. It's instinctive for them to chew on shit to keep their teeth sharp and short since they constantly grow, but maybe wire insulation tastes good?
