You aren't the first to be thusly surprised. Not the last either.

It's not mine Duane. But this gets mentioned regularly, and I thought it might be a novel thread to see the discoveries and surprises some others have found.

Only spiders for me, but the black widows I found ALL OVER the little Honda Ascot were pretty unnerving (seeing as how I have a completely irrational fear of spiders).

I've seen other people find mice, but I've never seen squirrels before.

Not an airbox, and not a BMW... but I once tore down a VW engine that had sat for a LONG time, and found one cylinder about 2/3 full of Dead Ants !?!?

I must have had a couple of generations of mice living in that airbox from a GSPD that sat 11yrs under a tarp on a scrapyard:

My fear too, though my dominant emotion is simply that they need to be dead. Spiders need to be upside down, all eight legs bent in funny directions, and with big black X's on all 4, or is it 6, eyes.
