A Pittsburgh-area woman checking the engine of her car to make sure nothing was aflame after she smelled burning made an even more surprising discovery under the hood: almost 200 walnuts and a squirrel's nest.

A long time ago some kind of rodent got under my hood and chewed up some wires. Cost me a fat repair bill.

When I was a kid the barn cats would get up under the hood of a warm vehicle in the winter.

I remember one day when my grandmother started her car we heard a clunk and a screech.

My grandmother was afraid to open the hood and so was my father for fear of what they would find. When he finally did lift the hood all my father found was a few clumps of cat hair from where the fan had nicked it. None of the cats were missing so one of the cats must have traded in one of its nine lives that day.

My daughter lives in the mountains and she has to cover her engine overnight to stop that exact same thing happening...

My son decided to change the air filter in my last car and found a cache of nuts and grass inside. Didn't bother the car's performance though. Go figure.

We learned the hard way not to park near the outside edge of a metro parking lot in the Wash DC area. The rodents came out of the grass, got into the engine compartment and ate the insulation on most of the wiring on my wife's Honda. According to the dealer, Honda was putting very flavorful wiring into their 1991 Accords.

I killed a cat when I started my car in the winter one morning. I heard this clunking noise and looked to find a bunch of white fur on my fan blades.
