Toyota Tundras = best tasting truck

(how is that for a thread title?)
A guy that works for me bought a new Tundra about a year ago. Twice last year he had to replace a bunch of the wiring on the engine because squirrels kept getting in and chewing through his wires.
Today he drives up to the office and after he gets out we notice that his truck is smoking. Thinking it is on fire and being good rednecks, we open the hood. Sitting on top of the engine is a half grown possum. The possum dives back behind the engine and we never see him again. We were in the middle of a parking lot and don't see it make a run for it, so I assume it has another place to hide in the engine.
In addition, he had pine straw and leaves stuck all in his engine along with several cracked acorns on top. Insulation and wiring were also chewed up. Coolant was empty and had sprayed all over the engine. (I assume this was what was smoking) He had his oil changed about a week ago, so this must have been recent.
He lives in the middle of town so a 12 gauge or even .22 remedy is out of the question. I suggested it was time to buy a pellet gun.
Any ideas?

This goes without saying.
But isn't exactly helpful at the present.

I just wanted to be the first to say it. Posted on 2/11/13 at 4:57 pm to TigerDeacon
You knew that would be my response

Now that you mention it I have seen squirrels pass two fords to make a nest in a Toyota. This was years ago off of Finks Hide-away When I lived in Pecan Bayou.

When he opened the hood and the possum jumped, the first thing I said was "You gotta buy a Ford."
The second thing I said was, "I know it would suck for you, but if that possum had jumped on your face, that would have been the greatest thing ever."
I'm an a-hole.

Is it really?

Yep
ETA: I knew he did work for deacon prior to this thread. Then I texted him about the possum and he said yes.
