A Raccoon Chewed my Car
12 years ago
I'm not even kidding. I was driving to work, had just pulled out of town and was on the road to work when suddenly my car shuddered and quit. The acceleration slowed and wouldn't go up, and I ended up having to pull to the side of the road. At first I thought I was out of gas, it wouldn't have been the first time this happened. But then I looked down before I turned the car off and saw I still had half a tank left
So I called work and said I was having car troubles, then called dad and told him to come check it out. He drove me to work, and then the following morning we went to go and check things out. He opened up the hood and we saw that something had gotten under the hood and chewed through all the wiring. After some quick patchwork, we fixed it up and got it home. Its still running, and later dad told me it was most likely a raccoon, its prints we around the area
So, I'm pretty sure that's the textbook definition of irony. The animal my fursona is climbed into my car and chewed through all the wires. Apparently my furry bretheren don't want me to leave. Ever. Which of you ringtails was so helpful? x3

Maybe you need a sign on your car "NO FAMILY ALLOWED" just an idea.

That could work. Add extra wires so they aren't tempted to devour mine
