Lightbulb Couldn't figure it out.

What are these little black thing collecting on top of my Taurus Wagon's engine? Today it hit me! They're rat turds. All winter a rat has been crawling up there at night to get warm. He even did a little wire gnawing.
Kinda like Chevy Calvin!

You should see what mice can do to a grawin truck thats left on an abandoned farm for a week, and also the headliner/roof in a swather. All i can say is its not fun trying to take a swather roof off when its windy.

I never had any rat problems, but my grandpa had his dog dig through the console in the door of his truck...
