Crazy how critters will make cars their home in such a short time. This is another reason you should drive your vette as much as possible.

I think I found how mice can enter the cabin air filter area when I had the battery out. Seen here bent upwards with the orifice visible is the cowl drain hose.

I worked one of the corners at the club auto cross at pikes peak international this summer an noticed something hanging down under one of the competitors as he went by. later He found a snake in his pulley system it didn't survive the ride. just like a snapping turtle after you cut its head off don't mess with it because it is loaded to close as some chefs have found out.
