Hood Scoop Fishing - Weirdest Thing You've Found Stuck To Intercooler?

[kpluiten]

I've been reading this thread for the last couple of days and while I don't have an awesome snake story, I was caught in freak hail storm a month ago when my wagon was 2 weeks old (yes hail in Arizona, in the summer! Damn monsoons.) and hail stones were driven into my scoop. My intercooler has huge dents all over it. %86$@!

Also, I got my oil changed yesterday and when they checked the air filter they came and got me to show me all the feathers stuck in it. They had to beat it out on the sidewalk to get them all out. Apparently three doves on two weeks is too much.

stop quoting the snake pic! Makes my skin crawl!

... at least I'm not the only one on NASIOC that's absolutely terrified of snakes

Darn, I can't find the thread, but I know I have the pictures of that saved somewhere.

Did someone mention snakes?

i had a bird fly into my radiator when i didnt have my fmic... and as far as things in my hoodscoop... just bugs, some large

[Easy Rider]

My EX mechanic left a 3/8 drive a 4" extension and a 13mm socket sitting on my intercooler - drove 2 stages with it there - opened the hood on a long wait at a turn around stage and found it. No damage - but I wasn't to happy.

this guy caught the pond!


I caught a bunch of bugs and small rocks.. and once drove around with some pliers under the hood. forgot they were there, hah

[jasonelmore]

I hit an owl. Left two dents in the hood near the latch, dug its claws into the hood, all the way to the scoop as well as blood, and when it hit the I/C, tried to fly or walk out and just f.u.b.a.r. 'd the fins... really, really hate owls now. I was traveling about 65 or 70 when this happened.

A bird , Oriole , was flying near the scoop & he was just sort of sucked in

[MVS]

Funny. When I first bought my STi, everyone made jokes about the hood scoop, how it looked like I could suck dogs and small children into it.

Due to the fact that even while driving politely and at normal speeds near all the damn parks and houses around here, I get yelled at and get glares from all of the parents and older generation (the Stage II exhaust may not help that), I was considering messing with people for a little bit.

The prank to be is stuffing a pair of baby-jordans, or some other size 0 childs shoes into the scoop, making the appearance of having actually sucked up a small child, with only the feet still sticking out.

.. Just to watch the reactions while driving around.

Isn't that a no wake zone?

Only bird I have ever caught was with the radiator. Have had a couple hit the B-pillar when driving with my window open.

...We'd be best friends! That's HILARIOUS.

Here's what I did when I was a teenager (in the DEEP south, so bare w/me).

My buddy Drew used to work at a local drugstore, and they were selling all of their Halloween makup for like 75% off, since it was December.

I bought ten packets of stage blood, and a baseball cap with fake eyeballs (that looked DAMN real covered w/ fake blood...) on it.

I then dragged the cap across the parking lot in some oil stains, giving it a distressed appearance.

I shoved the torn-up hat, and one of the phony eyeballs into a broken piece of my BMW grille, which I'd damaged hitting a deer one night, right below the half dollar-sized hoof dent the deer put on my hood (he actually lept right as I hit him, and all I caught was his hind hoof, luckily).

I then puored fake blood on the bumper, and spewed it in large splatters all the way up the hood. Then I took one of my hands, and made a huge palm print that streaked up the hood, and over the windshield and the side of my car.

A little more fake blood on the windshiled and roof was applied as we were driving to the parking lot where all of the kids used to hang out on Friday night waiting for a party. It must have looked awfully realistic, because as we pulled into the parking lot, everone looked horrified!

I lept from the car with my pal Drew, and I proceeded to shout,

"Y'all, we just hit a (racial expletive) out on Honeycutt road! He was wearing all black! I think I had to have killed him! OH MY GOOOOOOD!! What do I do!?"

Two of the schools hottest cheerleaders were splitting a 40oz right in front of my bimmer, and one screamed,

"Oh gaaawd! There's a F$(KING EYEBALL on your hood!!!" BARRRRRF! PUKEEE! And she began to vomit all over the place.

This triggered a bit of panic amongst all of the others (WAY before the cell phone was common.) One guy ran to call 911, yelling "He might still be alive!"

Before he could reach the payphone, I yelled, "SIIIKEEE! You guys are STUPID! I was just bull$#ittin'!"

All of the guys (except the cheelreader's girlfriend) started laughinf their asses off.

The sick girl and her man started eyeballing the car (no pun intended) and the guy said,

"He's lying, that's a real eyeball."

SO I picked it up from the front of the car, and put it in my mouth.

At which point the girl started to puke agian! Her boyfriend said,

"It's not real, babe, it'll be okay." And gave me a nast look as the walked away.

MORAL:

Be careful! People might think you really killed a kid! LLOLL

^^^ Man, you got issues

[t3hWIT]

A cicada. My previous bosses DB9 had a cigarrette in its grille. Nothing major about the cig, but my God the car....

Oh my dear God. If you don't mind, I'll have to take/make my own spin on that.
