Last night, I was leaving my parents house, that has no garage. I got the weirdest feeling when I was walking up to the car, call it intuition or luck, so I hesitated before getting into my car. I looked down at my car and it was completely(at least 50%) covered with bugs. They looked like spider/tics or a really strange ant? I got my father to come outside to see if he could tell what kind of bug it was, and he didnt have a clue.

The really bad part of the story, is while I went inside to make sure I wasnt covered with them, my ol man sprayed my car down with a hose, and when I moved the car away from that spot, I started the car to a horrible (screaching noise, a little similar to the noise 'starting your car twice in a row' makes. It sounded fine after that though, until I started it again, havent had the courage to drive it today, got my girl to give me a ride. Would that be water + AEM V2= noise. If it was hydro-lock, it wouldnt have been like that would it.

Maybe my engine was filled with bugs

I dont think it could have anything to due with the alternator issues I have been experiencing(battery running down VERY easily and a high pitched noise in certain point in low RPM when accelerating. Or could these problems not be my alternator?

 

Man I hate spiders...good thing your top was up

 

A bunch of spider eggs were on your car and they all hatched at the same time? How big were the bugs?

Anyhow, very interesting... I can't really think of a biological explanation.

 

Noise=spider eggs in the V2!!!

 

It was definately strange, I was thinking to myself maybe Im not supposed to leave right no

They were around the size of a....I dont know how to describe bug size, but they were smaller than grown spiders, I guess closer to ant size. There were hundreds of them! I am definately not a big of anything that can be on or by me and not know about it. I respect rattlesnakes, at least they tell you they are there.

I think Im gonna call Terminex to my car.

 

Ah man... Now I have that feeling like bugs are crawling all over me... GEE THANKS

 

I was scratching the whole night, I kept thinking there were bugs on me, finally fell asleep sometime after 3 0r 4.

 

I had a similar experience one time at an ex-girlfriends place. She was renting a small effeciency at the beach, and I was over one afternoon. We were fooling around in her bed, and I went to get up to go to the bathroom. I looked down at the floor only to see hundreds and hundreds of these small insects that were "ant-like" with wings. We were seriously freaked out because we'd only been in bed for about 15-20 minutes.

Turns out they were termites spawning.

ah reminds me of when I almost fricken wrecked.

I was cruisin with the top down one night, when I saw a small brown spider crawl out in fron of the steering wheel. I tried killing it with a coke bottle going 65 down the freeway...but I couldnt hit it. it wound up landing on my shirt, then fell to the floor right next to my uncovered legs and flip-flopped feet. I freaked threw on the brakes and jumped onto the shoulder, jumped out of the car and did the boogie dance for like 5 mins straight.

man Im such a girl when it comes to spiders.

 

Hahhaa... Boogie Dance. That's the best description. I've got this mental image of it right now.
