Mice are amazing. I had a horrible mouse problem until my furry pal BusStop the Dog came to live here and ate them all.

I would be hesitant to suggest MRE's for long-term vehicle storage. While you haven't had problems with them spoiling - they have a considerably lessened life-time when stored in hot conditions. I'd hate to need them and find that they have spoiled. A safer bet would be lifeboat rations like Datrex or Mainstay. They are more stable with regard to heat / cold and they take up no more space per calorie than MRE's.
