Glove compartment full of rats [View all]

I've been distressed about the used car I bought in 2023. It hasn't lived up to what I was told it was supposed to be by a long shot.

That said, I have a friend that bought a 1999 Toyota Camry with 91K on it.

She seemed to have it all with her new used car. Even the A/C works on it, something mine does not have working.

Well, she opened up the glove compartment and found a nest of rats breeding inside of it.

Now she is afraid to drive the car as she fears they may have chewed through some of the wiring in it, etc.

is all I can say.

Never heard of such a bizarre thing, have you?

When life has gone to hell, it really has in my book!
