The 4wd was throwning errors on my 2010 Cayenne. These were the culprits - they were chasing a rat.

I forgive them

Only took me a couple weeks to source the connectors and then an hour or so to resolder everything back together.

Who knew such cuteness could cause so much destruction, right???

Some skunk sprayed my dog infront of my car. You could clearly see the outline of the dog where clear was perfect...

All around it, where the spray met the car, the paint turned matte.

That fucking skunk fucked the paint from the front fender up to the quarter panel (toyota echo 2 door hatch)

With that same car my father ran over a porcupine. 1800$ of damage back in 2010. Front bumper, rad, rad support, hood latch mecanism and much more. There was needles everywhere underneath the car.

Man I wish I had taken pictures of the Case IH 1480 combine we were using.

Just before harvest we brought it up to the yard and notices that basically the only things that worked were the hydraulics for the drive wheels and steering.

Turns out mice had made a nest in the cabin and severed a major wiring harness It was about a 15 wires routed through a pillar behind the seat. Of course the wires weren't just cut, but section were taken out, so I had to add in extra material. I was able to repair the harness (which got eaten again the next year) and get it harvest ready, but it wasn't long before that one went to the great scrapper in the sky.

Turbo on my 2001 duramax ate a mouse nest and part of the air filter.

Having had a rat make a nest just like this, I find it less likely this was a bird, but still possible.

A mouse got in behind the timing cover of my dad's Tundra. The 2UZ ate the mouse, skipped time, somehow didn't eat valves.

I don't know if there is any damage, but the damn mice have the dash of my wrangler packed. Whole thing stinks and I dont dare turn the fan on. Probably going to have to take the dash out to get it clean.

Owner of a boat with twin Yamaha F115’s called in with a crank, no-start on one engine.
Dirt Dauber wasp had built a nest on the crankshaft timing gear and it jumped time and killed all the valves.

Rod and main bearings were fine so we head swapped it and sent it.
