I agree with Brian. Chivalry isn't dead, though at times that you wonder if it is... case by case basis.

Uh-oh. Sounds like something you found out first-hand. That's a bummer.

Are you part of that thread on NAM regarding the same issue? Once again, the solution seems to involve cats.

The shock tower cover/cap was chewed off, a layer of safflower bird seed applied and covered with some chewed nylon rope fluff and that in turn covered with the bonnet insulation.

Found this out when I went to check the antifreeze for the winter arctic jaunt.

I used to let the cat wander into the garage but he just liked to whizz on car tires, both on the car and ones in storage. In fact that was his only interest in visiting the garage.

I think I'll throw a couple of mothballs under there when the new Insulation and cap arrives.

Maybe you have a chivalry exclusion zone... you're pretty scary sometimes..!


Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else.
