Unbeknownst to me, a squirrel had built a nest in the engine compartment of my 4Runner when I was a graduate student. I learned about that when smoke started coming out of my engine at 70 MPH on the highway. Also, my brakes were not working. I pulled over and popped the hood to find a raging fire in the engine. A kind trucker ran across the highway and put out the fire with his extinguisher. Damn squirrel!
