Ran across some car-shaped computer mice, you don't see these too often:

Mostly recent muscle cars, but there's a 370Z and some Corvettes in there as well. I remember I used to have a C4 mouse.
and here I was thinking of the critters that ate the interior of my Fiat.
Funny mouse story (that is even funnier if you knew my uncle and how excitable he can be). My Uncle had my grandfather's old Ford Curiour truck behind his house. It had sat there all winter and with the weather warming up, he decided to take it for a spin.
He jumps it and get it running and warmed up.. no surprises yet.
Pulling out into the road.. he discovered there was a sizable mouse nest under the seat.. when they came running out across the floor, over the seat, on his shoulder and arms... squeaking in panic as they ran every which way as only mice can.
The truck was immediatly brought to a halt in the middle of the road and my uncle bailed.. with dozens of mice falling out after him and scurrying for cover.
He sold the truck soon after that.
Uncle of mine staged his rusty fairlane drag car and did a nice big burnout. the line guy dove and ran off track half way through. Mike made his run, didn't think much of it. Until the line guy told him a GIANT rat had bailed out of the rust holes in th the rear quarter during the burnout and run off down track.
After parking our 'Sploder in a field all weekend for a 24 hour Mtn bike race, we're driving home - truck packed to the gills and the wife and I both dead tired. I say to her "hey, look, there's a crack in the plastic of the guages..." and tap on the speedo. The "crack" wriggles up into the dash. I immediately knew I was looking at a mouse tail. She says "Oh God, was that a mouse?" I suddenly have visions of sitting beside I75 tearing everything out of the truck, dash included, on 2 hours sleep. "No....I think it was one of those little lizards we see in the garage dear." "Oh. Okay." oh boy......
2 weeks later I had to set a trap to get the mouse out when she realized I'd been lying to her....
On this board, computers aren't my first thought for "car mice"
