Every once in awhile the poor critters would let themselves out of the bag on the way back from the pet store... my Mom wasn't too happy about that. <BR/><BR/>Apparently, mouse and rat damage to cars is a very well-known event.

It looks horrific - there's a dent on each side, the paint is peeling from the roof and sides and I had the get the back fender bolted in so it wouldn't fall off. But she does run like a champ, bli ayin hara, pooh pooh pooh. I even took it back to J-m for the holidays, so i'd have a car during chol hamoed because hubby had to work (of course, he drives the new hyndai i30 that looks like a bmw in a gorgeous prussian blue).<BR/><BR/>let me tell you, getting up the Castel in that thing is quite a challenge. <BR/><BR/>Amazingly enough, someone actually once left a note on my car with his number saying he wanted to buy it!<BR/><BR/>When we first bought it, we had it checked out at one of those car testing places, to make sure it was ok, which they claimed it was. I took it home from work (I bought it from someone at the Jewish Agency when I worked there), in the middle of July and the a/c, which she claimed was terrific, was blasting hot air. The next day, the temp gauge went wild, I barely made it to the garage ( i think i didn't, i had to get it towed.) Turned out- there was no thermostat!!! I completely ruined the engine head! It cost me another 4000 shekels to get it repaired.<BR/><BR/>Since then, we haven't had any problems. But what a terrible beginning. And I bought it from a co-worker!Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763532437435602439.post-60977120523508104182008-10-27T09:17:00.000-07:002008-10-27T09:17:00.000-07:00I can't stop laughing (and coughing) about it.
