i was ambushed
 

the other day i got in my car and was attacked by those daddy long leg flying wasp thing. i swear it was not there when i got out of my car the day before.

can bugs and stuff crawl through the ventilation of the car?

That's very unfortunate. I hope you are ok. Yes, since air can get in, bugs can also get in.

I'm terrified that something similar will happen to me in Australia, except it'll be those spiders with a body the size of a giant gerbil.. I might just have to set my car on fire if I see one..

At first I thought you got jumped haha

My old car always used to have spider webs here and there, and they'd appear even the day after I wash it. I try to find the spider but I always came up with nothing. One day I was driving down the 91 and all of a sudden a spider the size of a quarter dangles in front of me :fuckthatshit: was fucking terrified. Hate spiders man

i have one that lives in my driver mirror, so i flush him out while washing the car with this devilish grin:ilied:

3 days later hes back. :rukidding:

once i was at the intersection of #5 and Westminster highway. my window was half down and one of those Lonnie sized beetles comes flying in, hitting my face and ricocheting off my windshield and into my crotch. i thought it was dead until i saw it crawling... i was now panicking and jumping around my seat trynna make this beetle thing go away. Now the beetle was crawling on my seat wile i was hovering over it trying not to touch it. i took my northface and crammed it under me creating a barier between me an the beetle and drove all the way home



i get home, jump outta my 240 and pull out my northface and THE DAMN BEETLE WAS STILL ALIVE! but it flyed out of my car soon after

ive never been so scared before :tears:

A spider lives in the mirror housing of my car, I get new spider webs on my mirror everyday :fullofwin:

To answer the original question, most newer cars (i.e. my Subaru) have separate cabin air filters, so nothing big should come through the vents.

Of course, anything can fly through the windows...(bird crap for me!)

i was expecting blood and fighting and somehow for you to Chuck Norris those who ambushed you... but no... a bug :okay:

Thank you. I will buy a Subaru when I'm in Aus for that feature alone!

stepped on a big spider in my driveway once...it's leg was twitching and i assumed i'd just let it die on its own and walk away...next morning it's gone...i'm thinking it'll remember and come back for revenge one day. i should have finished the job when i had the chance .... :ohgodwhy:

Woke up to wash my face and brush my teeth, took off glasses, proceeded to wet towel to wipe face, didn't see a dandy long leg on my towel because I'm effin blind..wiped my face with the spider on the towel.

:fuckthatshit:

ive done the same but found them running out of clothes... makes me so paranoid i shake all my clothes and stuff before i wear them :okay:

similar thing happened to me once and you're trying not to trip out while driving hahaha

imagine one in your underwear and you didn't shake it out before putting them on

:troll:

no more boxers for me! :denied:

now i'm scared :(

Bugs can easily get in through the vents unless your car has a pollen filter, and even then they can always squeeze through the little gromets that plugs holes to the outside of the car.

BTW I had a cat get in my car once without me knowing

I'm pretty sure it can eh lol. I would hate to be in that situation eh haha

I left my civic in my garage on jackstands for about a week with the windows open, and when I sat in the driver seat after I hit like 3 spider webs on the way in... Closed all the windows and left the car in the same spot in the garage. A month later I finally have it running again and go inside the car for the first time in that month and there were double the amount of spider webs everywhere (from the windshield to the driver seat, all around the rear seats.....). Got the car out of there and start cleaning up the left over parts that I left in the side of the garage and I swear over a dozen baby spiders just flew all over the place. One time I was driving my Z (I park it in the spot next to the civic in the same garage) and a spider just casually lowers itself down from my rear view mirror down onto leg.... My garage is dead to me now :pokerface:

Spiders like to make webs across the door frame at my shop, free kung fu lessons in the morning.

:fullofwin:

:okay:

I have a 2011 accord, i'm pretty sure there is pollen filter. I park under a tree on a daily basis so i'm alway afraid there'll but bugs inside my car waiting for me.

Hopefully my car is not as easy to invade as I think.

OP sounds like he's having nightmares and shit over this.

I have the exact same problem, and tried the exact same thing...
every morning it would have built parts of a new cobweb going from my passenger side's mirror to the door on my car. But I have yet to see the spider...:considered:
