Cam Young of Cam’s Auto Service in Toronto sent these pictures in a while ago. He says the owner of this 1999 Malibu wasn’t experiencing any problems with the vehicle until one day it started shifting hard and the engine light came on. When a technician popped the hood, he found three squirrels alive and well in the engine compartment, and somewhat put out at this new inconvenience. It was obvious they’d been living there for quite some time. They’d stuffed any available spots with leaves, and food. It was a wonder the car had driven as well as it had for so long! It took four days to get rid of the squirrels. The client was understanding the entire time, and happy with the outcome.

Squirrels? I thought the 1999 Malibu had a four cylinder gerbil engine!!!
