Default Attacked while unbolting the diff.

So I'm under the car this morning...after a semi-good BK morning.

I start undoing the Club Sport Diff....and pick up my green torq pipe, I use to extent a wrench for more torque...anyways a nice size, bigger than a quarter brown spider had decided to nap in there overnight, so when I pick up the pipe, out popped the spider, we stared at each for a min, or so...then under attack by this arachnoid invader of my domain(the garage) I grabbed the only weapon at hand..a can of liquid wrench..and spray 'em with it's golden stream of oily goodness...the little bugger flipped out..ran at me, I sprayed again, then it ran away from me, I'm still squirtin' the juice, thinking WHY wont IT DIE, DIE GODDAMN IT...it finally surcame to the oil now coating it like a glazed ham....it's final resting spot is under the pass. tire..which I am going to let down tomorrow with a special send off for the bastard.

God I hate spiders.

HAHAHAH, thats so funny. Next time grab the brake cleaner if in sight. I did that once when i was on the ground under the car doing something. There were a couple of cans of stuff next to me, pb blaster, brake cleaner, electronics cleaner, spray paint....brake cleaner seemed to be the best one that wouldnt leave a mess besides the elec. cleaner. Sprayed the spider and the thing shriveled up and died right where it was. Arachnids FTL.

Next time use the spray in conjunction with a match. Works swimmingly. Avoid painted areas of your car and greasy rags on the floor and cardboard boxes and your eyebrows.

I never leave my tools out for this reason.

That and I hate wasting time looking for something I know I have.

Ah, spiders aren't so bad. House centipedes are the worst.
