Most DISGUSTING Cabin Filter You Will Ever See!

so heres the story... ive neglected to change my cabin filter for a few years. two winters ago i didnt really drive my car that much and one day when i decided to i go for a spin i smelled this FOUL/STINKY *** stench from my car. i inspected everywhere i could and couldnt find the cause. about a week later the smell was gone so i was relieved.

a year and a half later (yesterday 6/7/09), i finally got my new charcoal air filter and when i opened the compartment for the filter..... this is what i got....
apparently the smell were ROTTING RATS that made a nest in my car for warmth during the winter. i guess the rats were killed by the heat of the engine and were eventually filtered through my a/c system.

enjoy.



the thought of it makes almost want to throw up knowing the air i was breathing had to go through this.

im surprised air was even able to get through.
