Giant Australian Spider in my M3

MrMoo · 11-01-2015, 11:43 PM

Well, time to burn the car. Refer to picture.

Lol but in all seriousness. Any tips on getting rid of this? It ran off somewhere under the car so I don't know where it is anymore.

holy.....
better hope it is not in the main cabin.

Makes sense. This is probably just the 3rd or 4th deadliest thing you'll run into today.

AYTifosi · 11-02-2015, 12:30 AM

OMG, if I was driving and that thing popped out inside the car I would jump out the window. How can you drive the car not knowing?

Wait. Oh, crap. I'd have to sell the car and move.

BwoodBMW · 11-02-2015, 12:31 AM

W....T.... F....

I'd trade it in.

dstyle · 11-02-2015, 12:50 AM

I've had a spider run into the car on me too. Not a big bugger like that one though!

There is nothing scientific to what I did, but I never saw him again. I blasted the aircon on high heat each time i started the car for the first few days before I drove off. I figured that it'd blast him out if he was hiding in there. I also sprayed the sh*t out of the interior with spray (rather this then him popping out while I'm driving). I also hosed all the wheel wells and under the car with water.

Good luck mate! fellow aussie here too

Think it's time to scrap it or just drive it off the cliff.

V3rbatim · 11-02-2015, 12:56 AM

oh hell no... Just knowing that little bastard is inside the car with me would drive me insane. Complete interior tear down...

So true!

Mark's M · 11-02-2015, 01:15 AM

Good lord I almost fainted when I saw the picture let alone the real thing. My worst nightmare come true if I were in your shoes. So yup, I'd burn it....soon as someone found the time to revive me lol.

RickMonet · 11-02-2015, 01:22 AM

Crikey! If that fella is in your passenger cabin - you will need to put him in a child seat or risk a moving violation!

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoppe

Blksnowflake · 11-02-2015, 02:48 AM

aww hell nah. eff that, car is officially useless. No frackin way I could drive down the street with that thing "somewhere" in there...the slightest breeze tickles my ankle or whatever and I would have a mind bending electrically charged spasm and driving would be the last thing on my mind.

I saw a man loose control of a car and literally smash into three parked cars, jump the sidewalk crash into a building and finally land with his car "on" the hood of a fourth parked car with his wheels still revving in the air. Had his foot still stomping the gas as he tried to fight off a damn wasp that flew in his car....all that damage over a damn wasp.

Australia, land of hot babes with cool accents and venomous everyday animals....wouldn't be surprised to discover even the woman have poisonous finger nails...sheesh.

Turn back the clock, at that moment with it sitting in your trunk's track, would you have slammed the trunk on it to smash it? : )

SleevedCoyote · 11-02-2015, 03:51 AM

Find an abandoned piece of road and drive ASAP, that lil crap is sure to get rekt

swagon · 11-02-2015, 05:19 AM

Holy fucking shit I'd jump out of the car even at 300 kph

MrMoo · 11-02-2015, 05:41 AM

Lol got back into the car tonight to go home. I can genuinely say i am genuinely scared to drive my car now lol and no its not because its 425 HP RWD, its cause of a spider. FML

Good luck mate! fellow aussie here too

Can i ask any reason why you blast the aircon on high heat?

Sprayed all the wheel wells tonight with bug spray and ill spray the wheel wells again tomorrow with a hose. Not sure if i want to spray the interior with spray, the spray does say do not spray on plastics or sensitive surfaces lol.

Wah · 11-02-2015, 05:49 AM

Lol... Wow.

RickFLM4 · 11-02-2015, 05:51 AM

Can't spray bug spray in car - bad for materials and bad to breathe. Consider calling an exterminator?

Just be sure it's not here!

Zerouali · 11-02-2015, 06:21 AM

I think you were right the first time, burn it!

What the hell kind of spider is it anyway?
