I live out in the country too and we had a huge rodent problem after a forest fire wiped out the predator population. Besides putting your car in an air tight shipping container, I don't think there's much you can do to keep them out if they're around. If you have a car cover, the cat idea is probably the best. Of course you'll have to feed and care for a cat. You can also put a few glue traps in your car. I tried glue traps at first but the rats would eat the mice that got stuck. I ended up putting poison pellets out and that eliminated the rodent population around my shop. There is a down side that you might have a decaying rodent in your car. However you decide to get rid of them is up to you, but if you have a rodent population or not. I think some precautions should be made. I have a neighbor who owns a repair shop. He had a boxster come in with weird electrical issues. He knew I was into them, so he brought it over to my shop for me to work on it. I found a mouse nest behind the fuse box. Luckily it didn't cause any damage but had forced some of the wires to loose contact. I also heard a story of someone who had mice chew the wire harness of a GT3. Needless to say, that was one expensive bill to fix.
