I took my car in for its yearly inspection and Joe, my wonderful mechanic from Desert Star Auto https://desertstarauto.com/ in Surprise, found the remnants of fruit in my car engine.
It turns out that Arizona rats like to eat fruit. But they don't want to sit in the lounge chairs that I have so thoughtfully provided for them. No no no. It's too hot out in the Arizona summer. So they take fruit off of my ornamental tangerine tree and retreat to the cool comfort of my car engine. There they nosh to their heart's delight!
The good news is that they did not floss their teeth on my car wires. This can apparently cause thousands of dollars of damage. Good thing I left them toothbrushes and toothpaste!
