So while my Roadster was in for its annual check-up (the first since I purchased it in early August), they discovered that some nasty little varmint had tried to make its home "near one of the high voltage components!" :cursing:
Below are pics of the nest they removed and of the high volt cable the little creep had decided to dine on.
I suppose this is one potential down-side of picking up a 2011 Roadster with only 4500 miles on it. Since I have been driving it almost daily since I got it, I'm guessing this must have happened while the previous own had it sitting up for long periods at a time. Where did he store it? A barn?
Anyway, $

1,667.11 worth of new coolant heater/chiller, wiring and labor later, I have the Roadster back and certified Rodent Free!
I suppose I should count myself lucky the car didn't burst into flames or fry itself... I do hope, however, that the little rascal that did this managed to fry himself on that cable (evil grin).
