Hey Fred

Want to hear something funny

Our cadillac dealer was telling us they had a service call on an STS once. Seems the lady bought the car and it got delivered two weeks to early so she accepted the car before she was to go over seas for two weeks. She drove the car home and put it in her garage.

When she got home the car would not start. It would slowly turn over but would never fire. The dealer had the car towed to the dealership and for two days could not figure out the problem. They decided to do an interior probe of the engine, so they took off the top of the engine.

What they found was five pounds of dog food. It seems the lady had a very small mouse that was storeing his winter stock in her intake system. The dealer had to go through the upper part of the engine to clean out the dog food.

It seems the mouse was getting in through a hole he had chewed in the breather tube from the filter canister to the engine and had been busy for two weeks. The dog food was small enough and the mouse was limber enough to get by the map sensor and into the intake.

The car had @ 60 miles on it and cost over fifty grand!

I think I would get me a mouse trap.
