   Your own personal nature preserve!

   Yeap! That sounds like Florida! LOL! BTW you must have missed the
wasps' nests inside the fenders. Just about every car that I've left
sitting has developed nests inside the fenders just in front of the door
openings. The wasps get in through the gaps at the front of the doors and
try to fill those big hollows with their nests. All of places, I usually
find black widow spiders in the treads of tires that haven't been moved
recently. They seem to like the gaps in the treads and the black color.
