Damn that's a lot of smoke that got let out of them wires.  Oh and apparently the car was left in storage for one week.  I call bullshit.  Does he think I'm gonna get mad at him if he tells me the truth?

Looks like the wiring harness out of my old Jeep Cherokee. They were known for smoking their harnesses and mine managed to do it twice  [bang]

yes, getting the truth out of people is so hard. I don't think they understand that if they tell us the truth it can likely help us fix the problem more efficiently.


dealer is sending a tow truck for this one in the morning, they pretty much admitted fault. I'll get a few hours diag time.

the truth about "how i got 12 lbs of mouse shit in my porsche" is probably to hard to accept!  [bang]

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Our "stray" cats practically live under my truck. I may have to start payin' em rent!

Shouldn't they be paying you rent? You should charge them 1 mouse head a week.

They drink out of the fishpond, so that's covered.
The downside is that there are fewer birds and squirrrels around, but I can live with that.

birds will shit on your car, and squirrels shit on everything and get into your attic. 

we have a pair of fox living under the neighbor's porch.  they score a chipmunk every few days during the spring.  screw em.  they are at the bottom of the food chain for a reason.

no totals are repairs 75% value of vehicle or greater.

that car should be worth more then 23k.

Chipmunks & squirrels chew up wiring as well. The chipmunks chewed a hole in the wall and chewed through the newly installed wiring to the hot tub one time. I say let the cats eat them.

Nah ill fix it and you will never be able to tell anything ever happened to the car.  Unfortunately my new wiring harness hasn't been built yet.
