Already posted on the dcevoclub forums, figured I would post here...

Someone, or group of someones, managed to stuff my air intake box completely full of some type of pet food. First off, I have no idea why someone would do it (it is kinda funny, but seriously?). Secondly, I havent really been anywhere for an extended period of time with the Evo and as you all will see by the pictures you almost have to have the car running to stuff it so full of food without it spilling over. Lastly, how did they do it? Pop my hood then open up the airbox to pour in a bunch of food?

Anyhow, for all your enjoyment and possibly to help solve this weirdness pics are included.

 

You should call Scooby Doo & the gang.

 

I'd be more worried with how they did it than who did it.

 

i know it may seem like its not possible but i could have been mice or a rat over time. i have had one do it in the A/c vents of my old eclipse over months of the car being parked in my driveway with an outdoor cat being fed in my garage. just a thought?

 

Ruh Roh! i have no idea but if your car has to be on for it to be that full id be more concearned with who has access to your car keys? Unless you know a magician. . .

 

WOW, hope you find out who did it.

 

you dog is telling you u spend too much time with your car.

 

Beginning to think this might have been it... Scooby Doo and the gang need to hire you on as a consultant.

I found a bag of old dog food in the garage from a long time ago, apparently something got into it and was stashing the food in my car, heh.

Freggin crazy.

 

that's crazy, hopefully it was mighty dog for that extra boost..

 

Mice dig the pet food...Mice have also been known to dig cozy air boxes...

 

you better make sure that animal is not in you car. to finish my story the animal died in my ac vent and the only reason i knew what happened was 1000000000000 maggots were found in the carpet of my car under the floor mats. this happened over night because my car was a DD. better clean that car asap. get rid of every spec of food. get rid of the dog food. and get that animal out of your car

 

Yeah, I am glad I took some shots of it otherwise folks would have been like "Whaaaat, no way". Should make for an interesting story at work tomorrow.

I went ahead and checked the rest of the engine bay to see if there were any other marks or stashed food, looks good. Nothing chewed, nothing disturbed that I can tell.

 

when i was working at a toyota dealership i pulled a cabin air filter out of a camry and it was covered in cat food i was like uh wtf... haha when the adviser told her that it needed to be replaced because it was covered in cat food her response was im not paying for that i dont even have a cat haha

 

everything looks good but how did it get in there. trust me. check EVERYTHING.

 

I wont be able to jack it up and look under it, but I am heading to CBRD on Tuesday so they might be able to do some investigating for me while I am chatting with them about my new build.
