Default Sleep well my baby, sleep well.

1st time owner (C7 Z06) going through 1st winter with a Vet. Apologize for amateur question, but if you have a cover on, does anyone still put laundry sheets in the car and hood? I did this year just because I read to do that, but was wondering if anyone still makes that effort even with a cover. I didn't put anything in the exhaust pipes. Inflated the tires to 39psi. Connected battery tender, and added fuel stabilizer. Thanks everyone.

The dryer sheets help deter rodents. Steel wool in the exhaust pipes is another nest preventer.

Has it ever been proven the dryer sheets 100% work? What would make the mice not like them? I'l willing to try it if it really works, would hate to have mice chewing on my electrical.

I just put half a dozen snap traps in the garage. Works for me so far.

Your garage looks spotless unless your garage is out in the middle of a field on a farm, I don’t think you’ll have a problem with rodents.
