Mice can be dangerous little creatures ...
My friend (that I work with) almost lost his mom due to mice in her car  . She's an older lady (at least mid-60's) , she has a Miata (her only car) that she drives maybe once a week . The other month she got into her Miata to go to the store for groceries , as she approached a busy intersection , she went to stop , but the throttle was jammed open ! It's an automatic , so the brake couldn't stop the car , with the throttle hanging open (and she couldn't push a clutch in) . She went through the intersection , luckily enough she avoided a major collision . After she got through , she reached down & turned off the key . She had the Miata towed to a garage , where they found that mice had eaten into her intake pipe & made a nest . Their diet of busted nuts had found their way into her throttle body and jammed the butterfly wide open ! She was so shook up , it was many weeks till she drove again  . She now has traps everywhere in her garage .
Lesson learned ... Don't take mice lightly  !!
Im confused, it was an automatic, but she couldnt push the clutch in?
