English term or phrase: fur-lined car.
I decided to throw my banana peel to a group of baboons, without realizing that if the people were starving, so were the monkeys. They instantly attacked the car to the point that it soon looks as though we have a fur-lined car.

disagree  Marlene Curtis: O carro ficou cheio de pêlos dos macados, não da pele dos macacos./Para que o carro fosse coberto ou forrado de "pele" de macaco você teria que matá-los primeiro.
