Classic SVX
I had a subaru justy at one point, I loved the car it was a nice one, prior owner was an old woman and I think it had something like 70k miles on it, but a mouse had infested the heater vents, we pulled out a ton of stuff the mouse had collected for the nest, sadly the mouse also peed in the nest so it smelled REALLY bad, so bad infact even after I got the nest out, the car still smelled... I ended up having to get rid of it because no amount of fabreeze or air fresheners could get rid of the smell.

I put that in a warning. Check under the Intake just behind the Alternator. I had a friend with a brand new Forster have it go up in flames because of it. Mine was all scorched it could have ruined my WHOLE day.

Guy i work with had a squirl nest under the hood of his truck, with 2 live baby squirls. They weren't cooked, as it was a large engine bay and a good distance from the engine in the back right corner. Was interesting to see, i'll see if i can find pics.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

your lucky you found NO bodies... ive got an old hatch with a plow on it (ill include a pic) the other day i went to move it and could smell that smell inside.. i almost puked i thought for sure they were prob in the vents. i opened all the windows and the hatch trying to air it out. i turned on the heater and to my surprise (and relief) they werent in there. i looked all over for the culprit and couldnt find it. so i left it all opened up in the garage and when i was walking by it last nite i caught a wiff again. i stuck my head in the hatch and was smelling around. when i got near the right rear speaker i KNEW id found the nest..

after almost puking my brains out, i convinced my buddy to put on some rubber gloves and clean it out. among the ton of insulation stored was a dead baby mouse and a rotting full size... he cleaned it out good, looks like im treating this weekend at the bar well worth it thou, as i dont have a stomach for that.
GOD I HATE MICE

I had a rabbit nest under the hood of my '81 wagon, I actually had to chase it out one day. It chewed up some of the wires pretty good.
