So much for paying extra for a "Certified Pre-Owned Toyota" when they clearly didn't inspect a thing.

When I park my bikes for the winter, I use steel wool in the exhausts to keep uninvited campers out; you could do the same in the tailpipe AND the airbox snorkle.

That Sucks when you find a rats nest and/or hole in the air filter. I have had this happen many times while living in rural Oregon.




Moisture is a problem where I live too. Even if the car is in a garage, it can get a musty smell. I run a heater in my car for a few hours about once a week to combat the mildew/mold. Don't know if this is an issue.
