    Toyota runs on rats power

    This have to be an Australian first!!
    When the police stopped a Toyota in a radom inspection for roadworthy and opened the bonnet 2 rats jumped out and a third was inside among the nests in the engine bay.

    So did the cops "red sticker it" or "bait it"?
    Did the 'yota run after the rats left?
    I wonder what came out of the glovebox?

    This could go on for a while.

    It shows just how reliable Toyotas are - one normally never needs to open the bonnet.

    Put the three rats in a mouse wheel thingy, connect it to the gearbox and you've just tripled it's original power!!

    Work friend of one of my brother's was complaining of having trouble with her corolla,less than one year old.
    It eventually wouldn't start one day,so Toyota picked it up & discovered rats had eaten most of the engine wiring harness.
    Many weeks later, as they had to wait for the parts,it was repaired,full costs payed for by the owner.

    Maybe rats like the insulation on Toyota wires.

    I'd say that was an incident of road dent and thankfully not road rage
