Protect Your Brakes from Porcupines

In the frozen northern lands comprising Canada, automotive brake parts are the natural prey of the North American Porcupine. Visitors in Valhalla Provincial Park in British Columbia have taken to protecting their vehicles by wrapping the bottoms of the cars with improvised fences made of chicken wire. Sometimes wooden stakes separating the wire from the vehicles provide an additional barrier to keep the hungry porcupines at bay.

Why do porcupines like to eat brake parts? I'm not sure. I've never tasted them before. But I'm inclined toward culinary adventures, so it's time to give them a chance.
