Depending on what the mice put in the exhaust and how much, it could start fire.

No one seems to be able to say just WHERE the little monsters are getting into the Vett's interior? Getting that sealed off would be a big help if we just knew. Anybody know?

The only things I can think of is they somehow get through the grate for the AC intake at the cowl (pretty friggin small), or when the top is off they drop in from a rafter and stow away.

Because I'm finding dead ones, it seems they found a way in and couldn't get out again.

Neighbor of mine has a C3 sitting under a car cover for 15 years outside. I dont know what he plans to do with this car but the person who some day buys it will have his work cut out for him. Some people think just putting a $100 car cover on your car and leaving it outside means you can let it sit forever and then just one day get the battery charged and drive it away.

Yeah, they dont think about the varnished gas and fuel system, dried up and rotten seals, dry rotted tires. Not to mention the possibility of mice.
