One marten to ruin it all *hate*

[TStar]

when i drove to the drugstore today i recognized some strange sizzling/knocking noise coming from the engine when accellerating...reaaalyy strange...i was kinda worried.
when i came back home i popped the hood and what could i see?
a marten felt very comfortable in there and ripped some stuff apart...
the marten nibbled off some of the sound proofing directly under the hood and gnawed on a few tubes but obviously he damaged something serious (otherwise my engine wouldnt make such a hissing/rattling noise)...

so i just brought the car to the dealer where he should fix it by tomororrow morning and find out what this bizarre sound is... maybe he ****** up the cooling system although the liquid is still there...

IF the engine is damaged due to this marten, by god i SWEAR: he is going to pay with pain and his life for this impertinence! for every 100 bucks i have to pay i will scrunch his head once if i can get hands on him.... *hate*

Uh...what's a marten?

 

[mooS mooS]

dumb ugly bird/flying rat IIRC <=== Dumba$$ answer.. heh

 

[TStar]

it's those guys... they often hide in the lower part of the engine bay and make it their comfortable home at night...they also sometimes bring their food with them (dead rats,mice,parts of chickens a.s.o.) and stuff it there...
if another marten comes to this engine bay he can smell the one which was there before,gets crazy and tries to keep the first one off his patch by removing/destroying everything which smells like the opponent..then he rubs himself against the parts to put his own smell on the surrounding....

those hysterical predators do so much damage every year to cars here...and no insurance pays consequential costs..if the marten bites off a cable..the insurance pays the cable..if it was the cooling system and your motor overheats/get damages..they pay -nothing-....
those creatures are baaaad and there is no -reliable- way to keep them out your engine bay but to put a very tight gridfence on the bottom to keep them physically out... even ultravox pulsers are only a 80% chance

Okay.. so it's not a bird... ( No editing allowed .. I'll admit when I'm a Dumb Arse) .. lol

Marten = a Freakin Weasel !

 

[TStar]

don't you guys have problems with those overdimensional rats gone mad ?

btw:yes, weasels (like the hermelin) belong to the family of martens...

but actually they're quite small and usually afraid of humans...

the ones who really make problems are beech martens...big and very enthusiastic about trying their teeth on anything they find attractive... they often fight with foxes and badgers when they're in the woods...

tonight he came again (fortunately i prepared my car well so he didnt go in the engine bay) and i watched him go this way....when he saw me standing at my window he grinned and me an ran away (to point5).....i decided to go for tactical warfare!

i believe he does it this way everytime...

now my plan:
the opponent arrives at about 23:30...
point 1-4 show how he "works" the cars on the yard.... at point 5 there is a door..he has to slip underneath it in order to run to point 6 (and away)....
i will try to close down that little cleft/slit so he won't be able to pass that door...
i will hide right behind the corner (after point 4) so i will cut off his way back !!!

but what then??? shall i try to kick him dead (he's quick and aggressive)? should i catch him (with a net or something?)

BRAINSTORMING PLEASE!

It's too bad you're not an American, or you'd have a shotgun, right? What kind of weapons do you have at your disposal? A pellet gun? Anything? I doubt you'd ever be able to engage this thing... umm... hand-to-hand, if you will. Maybe you have a few cats or a hungry dog or something?

LMAO...That is funny as hell...I wasn't expecting to see a picture of the battle field. Good luck!!

I would wet the ground beneath the car.. then put a couple hundred volts between the chassis of the car and ground..

And on another topic, my friend once started his car with a cat inside. We heard the most god awful sound coming out of the engine bay, then a flash of fur running away from the car. I was pissing my pants. The cat survived.

Try to get ahold of some anti freeze, and a sandwhich or whatever thee hell they like to eat. let the food soak in the anti-freeze leave it for him and if he eats it I will gaurentee you will never see that lil s*** again.
Or instead of going to hand to hand kombat hide around that corner with a baseball bat and beat the living s*** out of him. But try the antifreeze first

OK, here is what I have so far

You hide in the first row of cars (as noted). The marten will approach your car, but you will have strategically placed an unlocked pimped up CRX with the windows open and the keys in it at location X. Weasels love these cars. Once he has entered the car and is about to roll away, you drive the Dodge Ram pickup (vehicle A for attack) with the previously wired remote control into, onto and over the CRX.

Problem solved....but lets call it plan B for now.

I wasn't expecting the battle feild either.
(rofl)

I feel as though I am in the huttle. AND Break! *CLAP*

 

[GOTZOOM?]

Is there a certain time he goes in there. I would sit in my car, let him crawl up in there, and start her up. That son of b**** won't get back in that car again.

 

[TStar]

yes he will arrive at about 11:30pm...
but starting the car while he's in there might ruin the v-belt....

 

[low_psi]

obviously you've declared war...

the best plan of attack would be repelling out of your window as he's making his way to pt.4. then after you've caught him by surprise, pull out a trusty shark knife/hunting knife/army issue survival knife and chase that bastard.

 

[TStar]

yes, i will do such a thing but first i have to protect my car properly .. new aluminium tube covers and stuff...

btw:
look at this mean guy...can you see this devilish grinning ? he looks like he poses for a pornmag
