Re: Audi A4 rodent traps

["Andrew Seward" <reming@idir.net>]

One night in 1997, a German Marder (small weasel) got under the hood of my
1996 Chevy Tahoe in Heidelberg and decided that my sparkplug wires looked
decidedly delicious; the little rascal chewed through my #3 and #7 cylinder
wires.  Needless to say, the truck didn't run very well that morning.
Luckily, the German GM Factory Rep in Frankfurt agreed to replace all my
sparkplug wires for free (under warranty).  Get this - they cost $179.00!
So...

1.  These rodents exist and love to chew on cars.
2.  GM parts are expensive too!
