A mouse doesn’t need much time to turn a “stored safely” car into a repair nightmare, and the bill can be shocking. We sit down with Ken Huening, a lifelong car guy, to unpack how rodents get into parked vehicles, why they chew wiring and nearby materials, and why the usual garage tricks like soap bars, mothballs, dryer sheets, sprays, and pepper tape often fail when it matters most. His breaking point came after multiple invasions, including damage that hit about $25,000 on one car, and it pushed him to build something that works as a true physical barrier.

Ken walks us through the thinking behind a weighted, ground-sealing car cover designed to keep rodents from nosing underneath in the first place. We dig into the details that car owners actually care about: vents to reduce trapped moisture and mold, ripstop fabric for longer life, reflective material to cut heat, and why “waterproof” isn’t always your friend when humidity gets trapped. We also talk real usability, like how the cover goes on without the usual strap-and-mirror-pocket struggle and how charging cables can route under the edge for hybrids and battery tenders.

Then we shift gears to fun: Texas fall road trip ideas and a weekend update packed with car events worth putting on your calendar, from seasonal gatherings to Veterans Weekend highlights.
