    Had a fat huntsman living in my passenger wing mirror. Great taste in motors obviously

    Having one scuttle across the inside of the windscreen when you're driving at night wakes you up too!

    If you kept a snake in your car, it would probably scare the spiders away

    i can relate to this... years ago i had an LX torana and was driving on the freeway.... wondering why i couldn't read the large tacho in the dash.
    closer look revealed a huntsman that fit over the whole damn gauge.
    needless to say it was the quickest that car had ever stopped from 100kmh.
    then i had the problem of finding something to hit it with!!

    weirdest part is the heeby jeebies you get as you wonder where the rest of the family is lurking....

    I like the way you think. But I think a Magpie or something similar that eats bugs and spiders would probably be a bit more useful (unless it was one of those crazy bird eating spiders of course).

    that could get very entertaining though. in a discovery channel kind of way.

    Safeway sells Bug bombs. I do my garage and shed about once a year to keep the creepy crawlies at bay.

    I'll leave my trailer or a newly aquired car in the garage overnight with the bug bomb going off too, avoids a lot of surprises.
