So I am putting in some work on my 240 yesterday. Cleaning up inside the cowl vent. Look what I find. Yes it scaried the wizz out of me. Thank God the tenants moved out.

Its amazing what can get where on these cars. I had mice make a nest in the front frame rail, the hole they got into was smaller than a quarter!!. Even the animal kingdom loves Z'z

Paper-wasp nest! Yes that would make driving fun! Their stings are incredible.

Once, While driving on the tree covered South Miami street, Old Cutler Road, to Cocconut Grove, something large and squishy hit my windscreen. I had thought that a mango fell of a tree and hit me, but before I could make out what it was, my buddy started to flail around in his seat, yelling. The cabin was full of bees, I mean thick with bees. My "Mango" was a large chunk of bee hive that fell from an overhanging tree.

I quickly pulled off on a side street, and we both jumped from the buzzing car. Somehow, I avoided stings. My freind was not as lucky, or should i say, 11 times not as lucky. I ended up getting stung once while shooing the unwanted bumblers from my chevy. I made out in that deal, as I looked at my freinds face. Bees go for the face you know. Eight of his 11 stings were around his nose and eyes and he puffed up like a prizefighter.

While driving my Mach 1 home from work one lovely Florida afternoon, I noticed a "black thing" run across my dash over to the passenger side dash corner. I looked and it was a roach about 2 1/2 inches long!!!!! I had him pinned over in the corner (the one time I was glad to own an automatic) with my hair bush until I could pull off the road and get someone to help me get this monster out of my car.

Lo an behold I see one of Floridas' finest clocking speeders on this busy street. I pulled right up infront of him, blocking his radar gun and ran over to him and said I had a huge cockroach in my car. The cop was more scared then I was but he got the sucker out and I continued my drive.

Honestly one of the most frightning times in a car.

Victor, that totally sounds like that scene out of Tommy Boy!

When I pulled my Z out of the woods, after sitting for 17 years, I found quite a surprise when I opened the glove box. There was an entire nest of carpenter ants!!! Now I've been around a ot of old cars and restoration projects in my life and seen all sorts of animals living in cars but this was a first for me.

I had a 75 i pulled out of the woods. While taking the windshield out a bird came from one of the vents inside the car and started a God Awfull screaching at me. Come to find out she had a nest with a whole mes of babies in their

hey everyone

you could have one like mine its december and cold im driving to work with the heater on when the blower starts making a god awful noise when i turned it off a large mouse falls out of the blower assembly ,when he quit stumbling around he went everywhere inside the car at light speed until i got him to jump out the door

Victor, brings a whole new meaning to the term "buzzbox"!

My brother had a snake in his dash once... It juts randomly poked its head out of the air vents every now and then. It lived there for quite some time as he could never coerce the thing OUT. One night driving up a mountain it dropped onto the passenger floor! Needles to say, his girlfriend in the passenger seat wanted to pull over..............! Pretty dangerous situation, but he found a small spot to pull over, and flicked the snake out with a stick. Girlfriend sat crossed-legged the rest of the way.

I had some of those wasps trying to nest in the garage. a can of flyspray sorted them out.

I have been working on a 77 280z the last few days..turns out something had a nest between the tail pipe and ??? everytime I rev it up it spit what looks like bird feed out. Today after a short drive..it was poping out fresh..I swear..popcorn...and it aint done blowin that stuff out yet. I figure a mouse was making a hide out or a stash. It sat for three years.
