thats probably what happened. I'm paranoid mice make themselves at home while the car is stored. :ph34r:

While I was in Algonquin lastyear, In a matter of hours I had some kind of animal (chipmunk I think) managed to make a nest under my hood. No joke, about 4-5 handfulls of pine needles and various nuts. LOL.

Some insects lay eggs that look a lot like rice -- you could probably determine this by the taste test.

Thanks (very thoughtful) -- although I can be a perfectionist about some things, when it comes to rice and/or insect eggs I'm closer to a 90% kind of a guy ... so in this case I'm prepared to take your word for it. Cheers!
