Squirrels are so cute, how could you kill one, they don’t hurt anything

[Glenroiland]

I'm sorry but if you allow that many nuts to be collected in your engine compartment, you are an idiot and aren't maintaining said vehicle worth a darn!!

Squirrels can do that much in a couple of days. Has absolutely nothing to do with "maintenance".

That's true and if the car isn't your everyday driver it could happen- maintenance has nothing to do with it. It reminds me of what happened to me several years ago. I have a 1969 440-6 bbl Road Runner that I put up every winter. One spring when I took it out for it's shakedown cruise I floored the gas pedal to open up the secondaries and when I did a walnut rolled just perfectly under the secondary linkage locking all 6 barrels wide open!! In my panic for some reason I pushed in the clutch and the engine immediately revved to over 8 grand which simply isn't good for a big block Mopar

! Luckily all I did was bend 1 valve. I now check every spring under the air cleaner.

That's one crazy story!!

I had a major problem with chippers doing this with acorns. Since then I inspect all compartments on a daily basis whether it is my daily driver or not.

Also, the first step in any MAINTENANCE is a visual inspection. So, yes it has everything to do with maintenance.

Spent a few hours last week shop vacuuming a lot of chewed up black walnuts and pine cones in my barn, around my equipment. Was really pissed to be doing this extra work on account of the red squirrels. Haven't had the time to set up for them but they have earned my enmity.

Glad I have my boots on, getting deep.

What bulletbob said, except the boiling part. We just roll them in flour, fry them up, add some water, and let 'em simmer. Then add rice and go for it.

In the parking lot of the school of my children, many years ago, a ground squirrel decided to hide within the engine of a car of a teacher.

Once the teacher tried to start the engine of the car, the band of the fan teach the squirrel how bad was the hiding place it choose.
