    P.S. I've seen a Saab with the same symptoms from a crimped exhaust (half way shut) due to backing into a curb and bending the pipe under the back seat. You really couldn't tell anything was wrong without lifting the car.

    OK, I'll 'bite'. How do pack enough kibble in an exhaust to block it?

    One determined and creative pranskster?

    The owner found evidence of mice living in his garage. I can't imagine how they carried the food into a muffler opening about one foot off the ground...
