You know what, it's winter now.
Some animals might hide around your car to warm themselves.
Some might hide in your wheel gap.
When you drive the car and the wheel rotate, you might hurt them.
Dr. JK. Bullsh, a researcher from American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), suggest american citizens to either change a louder exhaust to scare these small animals away or lower the car to kill the fender gap in order to not accidentally injure them.
