I found a dead, smashed mouse in that same spot one time. I

Pics or it didn't happen.

Lol, you guys are rough. This was before camera phones, it even might have been before I had a digital camera.

I just went out there to take some pics of what has "collected" in that area recently, but then I got embarrassed and realized that I need to clean the engine bay.

Btw how was that run? My friend and I want to head up to blood mountain next weekend.

Sup Matt. I do have a cooling plate. But it looks like this:

Anyways, the run was pretty awesome. Exhilarating to say the least!!!
Next weekend I'll be out of town. But maybe the week after that.

Hahaha. Had me cracking!!! Squirrels just won't leave you alone

I'm always amazed by guys with clean engine bays. The hood stays down probably 99 percent of the of cars life. (The bay up above is super clean). So what do I care? Maybe I'll change when I get more go fast bits in there.

Agreed. I just love the simple functional design of the S overall(compared to my Prelude). My bay can still use a good cleaning though

Almost 9 years old. I spend less than a half hour a year cleaning under the hood. And yes, that is the original battery!

I think it's more likely someone tossed it in there. If I ever caught someone throwing shit on my car, s2k owner or otherwise, they better swing first.
