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. | | | 03-31-2007, 09:49 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | 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.

Works swimmingly. Avoid painted areas of your car and greasy rags on the floor and cardboard boxes and your eyebrows. | | | 04-01-2007, 09:03 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | I never leave my tools out for this reason.
