I see people leaving their garages doors open to cool things down. BEWARE!
Yep - same thing happened to me, we park one car outdoors - I think mine was squirrels (judging from all the fur when one of them was apparently in the fan when I remote started the car), chewing through the wiring harness; check engine light came on and a bunch of other lights - cost a small fortune to get it re-wired (they wrapped it good this time, plastic tape). Those critters can do some damage!
