A few years back I bought my wife a new E300 Mercedes. After a couple days driving it she opened the trunk and let out a scream that could be heard blocks away. Inside the trunk were about a dozen giant cockroaches. When I called the dealer to complain they were unresponsive. Got an exterminator to come and never again bought another car from the dealer.

Only thing that two of my Mercedes attracted were mice. They quickly (about two days) made quite a home under the hood and chewed up the wiring harness. Traded the car (S550) in for a new one two months later.

If you get stock from Mexico you can have scorpions. We've seen that, but they take the drugs out of the trunk of the Fusions before we get them.
