Anti-rodent winter tip (edited)
When grocery shopping I reuse the plastic bags. Today I picked up a ready-made croissant-egg-bacon-cheddar sandwich. I sniffed the bag after taking the sandwich out, and detected a trace of the food odors. Usually what I do with any bag like this is to turn it inside out so as to let it air before putting it back into the front trunk. After a while, if it retains the odor, I'll toss it. Anyway, my point is, aside from the obvious of not keeping odor-permeable food containers in a car, I recommend be careful of anything that already held food. If you've recently handled food, wash your hands before handling the steering wheel and other controls. Hey, them mice have some schnozzes!
These are things to consider all year, but I was thinking of those who store their cars for the winter, and/or drive them infrequently.
