Seems like the wrong time of year for this topic but I was talking to someone the other day about how he rodent proofs his cars for the winter. He told me he parks the car on a large sheet of 6 mil plastic. And then just gathers it up over the roof and ties it off like a fruit basket. Says he never has a problem and mice etc. never chew through it. He's a very intelligent guy with several cars he stores in a building that is not rodent proof. Can't help but be skeptical though. And wondering if anyone else has experience using this method.
Last winter for my wife's 1970 VW I put jackstands in plastic buckets and put the car up on those. On the theory they would not be able to climb the bucket. Not sure it was 100% successful as I found just a few acorn shells this spring. But it could have been an enterprising varmint getting a jump on winter quarters who was already in residence.
