Huge spider crawled under my hood

dandg · 03-13-2010, 09:21 PM

I had to go to the store so I walked in the garage turned the light on and the first thing I see is this gigantic spider (one of the hairy ones) it was light brown and I could even see the fangs and ****. Well it ran across the roof and windshield and then disappeared under my hood.

I'm paranoid as hell that this bastard is gonna crawl through the AC vents or will go outside the car and go in a window if I have them down. If that thing crawled on me while I was driving I think I'd crash.

First thing I did was drive the car hard to heat up the engine which I got to above 220 degrees. I hope that killed it.

haha that's too funny, I hope it fell off along the way

Spiders like dark quiet places. I don't think it gonna hang out under the hood very long whilebthe engine is running. I'm sure the heat would be too much. If it gets past the moving part the 220 degree temps and the noise it still needs to eat. So if it still is alive and in you engine it gonna leave once it needs to find food.

I hope so. I can handle wasps and stuff flying around the cabin but that thing just looked nasty. It was fast as hell too. Took like 2-3 seconds to scurry from the roof to the front of the hood. I bet it's just chilling somewhere waiting to kill me.

thats the worst. I remember finding a spider in my G35 back in the day almost every week (small ones, but still as creepy). I am so sure there was a nest in there somewhere

I would cry like a little bitch. And this is no lie, spiders scare me shytless.

Spiders like warmth. It will probably migrate to the cabin through the heating ducts.

Yeh. All the baby spiders there will ride on moms back. Just try stepping on it then. And watching them all spread over your shoe.

If you install a Cabin Air Filter you'll make it harder for your buddy to hitch a cabin ride.

You see, this post is funny because just last week I was sitting in my car talking to a buddy at which point I looked up and there was this spider about a inch in diameter sitting there staring at me...I jumped out the car as fast as I could and was damn near squealing in front of my house. I dont like spiders...
