Did the car feel a little "Squirrelly"? Sorry someone had to ask.

Last year I had a red Robin making a nest day after day just where your squirrel is - right on top of the tire.

I'm surprised he stayed still long enough for you to take the picture! Not a very squirrely squirrel.

Funny thing is that I looked at this post and the picture before there were any replies and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the wheel or tire. I hadn't notice the squirrel sitting there until just now.

These little critters will eat your insulation to make nests. Maybe you should encourage him to visit the caravan next door instead. One of these
ate the s--t out of my buddies 325ci hood insulation.

I know this is completely random, but I took this picture last summer at the Grand Canyon.



For any of you who know anything about Photoshop, this would have been an awesome picture if I had taken several different exposures and combined them as an HDR image.

The amazing thing was that I walked right up to him and he didn't move until I slapped the fender. Guess he just wasn't impressed with any other cars in the lot.

Or he figured that wherever he finds an XK8, he know there's a nut nearby who owns it.

That's what I was going to say chaz. They love to collect nuts, probably looking for the one that holds the steering wheel. ha
