America is littered with junkyards, fields, and barns filled with neglected and forgotten cars of all makes and models. Most of these cars are, older than you or I in many cases, and their owners either can’t, or won’t, take care of them anymore. But the truth is, it doesn’t take long for neglect to take its toll on a modern car either, and in some cases an abandoned automobile can make a comfortable home for some pesky creatures.

This video from Ford restoration specialists MustangMedic.com illustrates just how quickly things can go wrong when even a modern Mustang is neglected and forgotten. In this case, a family of mice (or rats?) moved into this pony car, making a very nice nest for themselves in the glove box.

MustangMedic.com is a Mustang restoration specialist who produces a video series for each car they restore, from classic 60’s muscle cars to more contemporary Mustangs. In this video, the Mustang in question is a 2000 V6 model, about a decade old and not exactly the most desirable of muscle cars. But V6 Mustangs make up a bulk of the sales, and there are lots and lots of them strewn across America.

From the outside, this V6 Mustang doesn’t look too shabby aside from sun damage. No rust, no dents – just lots of rodents. It’s obvious from the moment the hood opens that rodents of some kind have been nesting on top of the intake. But things get even worse once they open the glove box, which is just packed with rodent poop and nesting materials.

The challenge here is figuring out how the rodents are getting in. The vents? The firewall? The MustangMedic guys think it might be the vent gate, but what theories do you have about this Mustang rodent infestation?
