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

JDiesel · 05-25-2004, 04:57 AM

Aside from the usual bugs, the weirdest thing that got sucked through my STi hood scoop was a plastic shopping bag. Anyone catch anything interesting?

Kyguy · 05-25-2004, 06:32 AM

I don't have a scoop

sonicsuby · 05-25-2004, 06:33 AM

nothing wierd thus far. I got the trailer of a semi through my grill though!!!

eurojax · 05-25-2004, 06:34 AM

There were a couple Bee's slammed against my backing plate when I took it off a couple years ago, that's about it.

elliott · 05-25-2004, 08:56 AM

I had the straw and lid to a McDonalds cup

I dunno about who got a bird in their intercooler TWICE, but I certainly got a small sparrow in my intercooler ONCE. Here's a link to the details and pics:

mcdonalds paper bag and some fries...lol

punkrocksailor · 05-25-2004, 10:54 AM

McDonalds Fillet O' Fish wrapper, and it was half in and half out. It pissed me off so much, I actually pulled off the freeway, took it out, complained about how much people litter and then in a fit of rage threw it back on the ground lol.

AzSandSlinger · 05-25-2004, 09:36 PM

I got my hood scoop ripped TOTALLY OFF due to a mud flap. When I was passing a semi at about 75mph and as i came up on his side, he kicked up a semi's mud flap (that was in the road) with his front tire. It hit the front of the hood and them slid up and ripped off my hood scoop entirely. Oh, well.. it gave me a reason to get an STi scoop..
